None of these guys are newbies so give you a run around solution 
. Ask bun, the big time newbie 
, all you have to do is change the extension from .sh to .txt, anything will then read it, including Notes.
BTW, there are many ways to skin a cat, I use shortcuts to get USB/host USB/OTG and works just fine, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...330#post199330

I have a bunch of very simple shell scripts which start
various palm apps using garnet vm (e.g. datebk5,
palm contact app, etc).
These work fine when started from xterm, but there
must be some way to customize the main menu so
as to insert links to these scripts (I hope).
Ideally, I'd like an icon with a label (e.g. Datebk5) to
appear in the "My Selections" menu ...
Anyone know how to do that? TIA,
Thanks for any help you can give.

Its open source, easy to use, and it supports syntax highlighting. Not as many syntaxes as Vim, but still quite a few including shell scripting. I use it all the time for programming

That's odd. What Service Pack do you have installed? I thought WordPad was part of a default WinXP install. On my machine, the Shortcut resides in Start->All Programs->Accessories->WordPad. The actual executable can be found in "C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe".
I never use Notepad. WordPad is so much better. I sometimes prefer WordPad over MS-Word for typing up a quick letter. But usually I edit text files with vim (or even cream) on WinXP.
I have a folder called Accessories under Windows NT but it is completely empty. Strange.I thought it was part of XP by default also. I do have MS office ultimate. Wonder if that zapped it when it was installed?
As I said, it may be on the CD - I haven't checked. The EditPad was quicker to find and install than find my XP disk.
My needs will be quite simple - EditPad may well do what I need.
Thnaks for your input.

Using Notes on a script is not advisable. Notes can ruin the structure and formatting of one.

Thanks. I was thinking about how to read it as Derek was saying its all rectangles. To make script, Notes is NOT a good one NOR any word processor that adds LF/Return/formatting chars, like MS Words etc. Anyhow, my chosen editor: emelfm2.
Thanks for bring out the obvious.

You can always use unix2dos or dos2unix afterwards, even on Windows. But like I said, there are better text editors available. On the NIT I prefer nano or vim, both accessible through shell.
