<BODY>I have a easy question, that I can not seem to find an answer for. I have a program, lets say Netscape browser that I want to create a shortcut for in my desktop. In order to get this program to launch, I have to cd to the directory where it is located "cd /usr/local/netscape6.1" then I have to type "./netscape" to get it to run, not just netscape. My question is, how would I type this in the command section of the launcher that I am trying to create, and why do I have to do a "./" to get it to run, it is the first program I have had to do this with, and I do not understand what the "./" does. Could someone please enlighten me? Thanks.<br>
