Bash is typically the default shell in GNU/Linux platforms. I don't want to deny you the fun of learning, but perhaps a tip will get you up and running faster. In your home folder, edit the .bashrc (yes, begins with a period; to see it type ls -Al) file to add the following line (all one line, even if mail splits it here): alias govista="/usr/local/OpenVistA/vista --run /home/dsl/myVista Q^DI" Be sure not to put a space before or after the = sign; shells are funny that way. >From then on, whenever you log in, the alias govista (feel free to use a different name) will be defined. Simply typing it will have the same effect as typing the whole command. I believe (I haven't tested it) that you could simply add the line govista to the very end of your .bashrc and it will start automatically.
