Thanks for the help.

I get \"cannot open (NEW FILE NAME).desktop, permission denied\"

I played about with a lot of different combos but I suspect that the entire folder is \"locked\" in some way...

I can open existing desktop shortcuts in vi by typing vi name.desktop but I have trouble quitting. It crashes generally speaking, and I have to shut the terminal window.

I cant find anyway to access these folders and add/edit things?

OK, let\'s try:

1. Install the File Manager to your Zaurus if it isn\'t there already
2. Open File Manager, go to /opt/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications
3. Tap & hold one of the .desktop files until a context menu appears
4. Choose Actions ] Copy Same Dir
5. Enter snes.txt as the new file name
6. Tap & hold snes.txt until a context menu appears
7. Choose Add To Documents
8. Go to the Documents tab and make sure that All types or Text is selected in the bottom-left list box
9. Tap the entry corresponding to snes.txt (an icon with a pen which has \"snes\" under it)
10. Edit the file to make the necessary changes
11. When done editing, copy snes.txt to snes.desktop (just like in steps 2 to 5)
12. Go to the Settings tab and choose Shutdown ] Restart Opie

Repeat steps 9 through 12 until a new entry appears in the Applications tab :-)

Good luck.

Thanks a lot for the patient help.

Unfortunately I get stuck at step 3.
Tapping and holding doesnt bring up a context menu (or anything else)(I am using Sharp Rom 3.10 with SHarp file manager and Sharp terminal installed)

I tried copying the .desktop file but it isnt available to paste when I go to documents (greyed out)

I also tried using the \"Zaurus File Transfer\" facility to get to it to copy but it wont have it...



What is \"vi\" I will hunt down links on Google but I suspect just searching for \"vi\" m,ight get a lot of un-related hits

ummmm...

Ok so I scroll down through the file structure and I need to create a .desktop file by basicly copying an existing one, but what do I use to open the existing one to look at it?

Sorry for the presumably very basic nature of the questions, I am a total novice at this. If there is a website called \"how to not suck at life\" with details of this kind of thing for absolute beginners please feel free to direct me there...

Hi.
Yes I am a newbie and frighteningly dumb about this but help would be much appreciated.

I am trying to run the qtopia based SNES emulator from here:-
http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1214

There are two files, one of which is an ipk and I have installed. The other is just marked as a file and I dont know what to do with it. I get an error of \"no application defind... type is application/octet-stream\".

If anyone could direct me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

I just have the basic 3.10 sharp rom recently flashed.
