Hi Ed, Thanks for your advice. - snip - > You probably can't.

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

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 B.R. Stephen
