ls -n /usr/local/bin/tf /usr/bin/tf
Then, you can just type 'tf' from anywhere to launch it under xterm.

you could also create a tf.desktop in /usr/share/applications/hildon and launch it from the gui, though I think I actually pointed the icon to a shell script that ran the app, though which one eludes me now. you could also create a shortcut button in Xterm that launches it, though that takes a lot of work to create with a ' * ' between every letter. I created one of these for sudo gainroot so that all I need do is click on the gainroot button in xterm and I am there.

See:

for what I mean... There is another thread that actually spells out how to make a toolbar shortcut with commands in it, but I can not find it at the moment.

My question is, being that I have never used a MUD client per say (just telnet or SSH depending on the mud) What is the advantage of the client over a plain terminal?
