autoload problem

autoload problem

[John Sowden]

I  tried the line:  xdosemu -input '\r' -quiet -E filename

I got the error: "KDE cannot launch ..."

I edited the properties -> execute -> command location of the desktop icon.

Also, the existing line had single quotes arround it.  I substitued double 
quotes, no help.  I tried with/without a file type (.bat).  Of course I 
created the batch file in the same directory where the existing autoexec is.

By the way, I am having no font problems with extended charcacters (line 
drawing/pascal turbovision screens, etc.  It works great.  My application 
here is to run 1 icon to bring up my dos menu structure and one to give me a 
dos screen.

First try if the command works in a terminal (xterm or whatever).
Then try to remove those quotes; if you have quotes around the whole
commandline then KDE sees it as the name of the executable (including all
spaces) which of course does not exist. The only quotes that are necessary
are the ones for '\r'
