Excuse me if this is another answer in my face question: I have a simple program - in order to run it, I have to open a shell and type in the program name and arguments; it then opens a second shell or window depending on the arguments and runs - this is dosemu for the inquisitive a 'dos in a box' program to run dos legacy stuff.
I would like to create a simple executable script that I could place on my desktop to run this sequence. I can't figure out how. I've tried simply writing a one line file that contains the program and arguments, and making that executable, but that doesn't work. I think there's that extra step of invoking a shell first that has to happen. If I press alt-f2 and type in the program in the command window, that works, so how do I turns those two steps into one executable?
