If I understand what you are trying to do Joan..you are logged in as
user..and In a term your prompt is $.
To start a program as root...type su root <ent>...then it
will ask for password.....wordneeded<ent>
Then your prompt will be...# ...so start whatever program you
are root.....
As you say above you know how to do this? ok I assume you wish
to be another user besides root? to do that ..ctl alt F2 and log is as
the user you want to be, and run your program from that console.
If you have some other plan, post back and we will pull
another rabbit from the hat 8-).
