I am not trying to open two profiles. I have a profile template that is
a split detailed list on the left and the right.

I don't know about the profile but as stated in my original email I can set the 
location for the left window of the split using --select $HOME

Don't know, don't care. I am trying to make a different path set to the
select in the right window of the split. 

Pseudo example:
konqueror --profile TwoFrameVerticalSplit --selectleft $HOME
--selectright fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

I am tyring to write a script for users to launch an SSH connection to
do file transfer from their Linux desktop.

These people are already trained on how to use the WinSCP icon and they
are Microsoft Left Mouse Click Certified. I need to give them a SCP GUI
that works like WinSCP and can be scripted from the CLI so that they do
not have to think about it.

I would like to avoid using WinSCP under Wine. The only solution I can
think of is to write a script that re-writes the profile and sets the
fish:// entry for the right side, but that is also not a good way to do
it.

I seem to recall there is a DCOM CLI for KDE programs. I never got into
using it but maybe someone knows how that could be used to send a
command to konqueror to change the view location of the right frame.
