Re: Adding apps to the application menu?

In applications I have a program:

Open Menu:Starter.x11prog
[/Applications]%  pwd
/Applications
[/Applications]% ls Open\ Menu:Starter.x11prog
Open Menu:Starter.x11prog
[/Applications]%

I have tried adding this to the X11 applications with a full path with no joy.

/Applications/Open\ Menu:Starter.x11prog

Any ideas?
Gary

I just installed X11 and saw the little applications tab with Xterm in it. I've tried to add other apps to it but they won't launch. Is there a system for getting this to work?


Unfortunately, the shell doesn't have the proper path set up. (I doesn't run your shell as a login shell. Set the path explicitly before running the command. I just source my .bash_profile before running the command. Since I'm using bash as my default shell, my commands look like this:

.~/bash_profile; command

Many programs will only need the full path specified to the program:

/sw/bin/command
