By doing so, I have no access to my PATH variable, eg. a compile (make -k) won't run. When I launch emacs from a shell, than there is no problem and make or other scripts are available. What should I do to have the icon launch emacs with my PATH set. Tx/Alain --------------------------------------------------------------------- Alain Muls alain.muls@septentrio.com +32.477.675091
