I know that the menu isn't broken because xterm and xman run just fine out of the applications menu. For some reason I can't get my own programs to run out of the applications menu though. I've read stuff online that says it's as simple as inputting the path to the application. In this case it might be something like: /Applications/sms-client/startsms.sh Here is the dillema. When I fire up an xterm window and pop this in it does nothing, this is presumabely because none of my applications are under /users/me/applications and instead are in /Applications. How in the hell can I get the command to do the following?

cd /
sh /Applications/sms-client/startsms.sh (I believe I can drop the sh and still run the program)

I hope someone gets what I am talking about, it is a little confusing. I am assuming I can use xterm and xman all the time because they are probably in the pathline... bash. Correct?
