Hi,

All works fine for me...the custom menus work for running non-cygwin apps as
well!

Example of running PuTTY to ssh to a remote linux box:-

menu apps {
      "xterm root@linuxbox"  exec "run F:\\PuTTY\\plink -load linuxbox -pw
linuxbox /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -rightbar -ls"
      "konsole root@linuxbox" exec "run F:\\PuTTY\\plink -load linuxbox -pw
linuxbox /root/bin/startkonsole"
      "ethereal on linuxbox" exec "run F:\\PuTTY\\plink -load linuxbox -pw
linuxbox /usr/local/bin/ethereal"
       separator
}

Where startkonsole is a script on the remote box to set a path:-
#!/bin/sh
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin
/usr/bin/konsole --ls

Thanks for the custom menu feature...hours of fun for bodgers like me!

Colin
