This post and one in another thread are both triggered by
my intention to install RPCEmu on a laptop. Originally, I
installed it on my desktop Linux PC which gave rise to my
queries in this thread.

Well, it's only a few days since May. Or have I missed
something?
Originally, to run RPCEmu, I had used the following lines
in the terminal:
cd rpcemu-0.9.3
./rpcemu-recompiler
After my request for help (and being timid and not having
dealt with scripts before) I put them into a text file and
copied and pasted them into the terminal and hit enter.
As my sophistication grew(!!!) I added a return to the text
so that I didn't have to hit enter.
It all worked but I got fed up with c&p so I today I looked
again at the suggestions I was given.
Brian's method worked when the script was in the
rpcemu-0.9.3 directory but creating a link and putting it
on the desktop failed. No doubt my limited knowledge of
Linux has let me down here.
Jim's and Peter's suggestions were very similar though I
don't know what the significance is between their two first
lines: Jim's ends in /sh and Peter's in /bash -
again, my lack of knowledge is letting me down.
I've ended up using the following:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/john/rpcemu-0.9.3
./rpcemu-recompiler
This works but, having changed the file permissions to make
it executable, I have to select Run from the resulting four
options after double-clicking on the file on the desktop.
Is it possible to make it RPCEmu run from just a double
click on the file?
