apps-menu.sh

[jpeters]

Script for loading menu into Dialog.  Loads apps in /tce.menu with others edited into script.
Run from terminal or create icon (I built this for use with dfm).  Requires dialog.tcz  

note: setup for reading jwm tce.menu/menu. Edit for different wm.

edit: added basename; remove for loading apps not in $PATH

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/ash
