What do I name the script?Yes, use a text editor and enter something like this (script name don't matter) cd /usr/agent wine -managed -winver win95 AGENT.EXE replace /usr/agent by your path to agent then do chmod +x <script name> to make it executable. Further questions about Linux in a Linux news group, thanks Gerard
