[NTLUG:Discuss] Shortcuts

[Patrick Parks]

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.
