Hi Ed,

Thanks for your advice.

Noted with thanks.  I am interested to be advised of how to build it.  Pointer 
would be appreciated.

Noted.  I don't need to create a shortcut.  On Konsole window just type 
'xterm' and hit <Enter> to start 'xterm' window.  It works as 'user' as well 
as 'root'

Thanks
