What does file say it is? It seems to be doing the job of shoes.bat
under windows. The answer may inform your later question about how
to do all this from one shoes.
OK, I guess I answered my own questions except how to get the pretty
Shoes console back. :)

These should be the same I think. I've not tried this on Linux yet.
Anyway, when I've shut up and sent this someone will have helped you
out. :-)
Where's the console in Linux?
And I'm used to having one shoes Application running, which I can use to
open up a copy of the manual and run my scripts and open new scripts and
stuff... but it looks like in Linux the thing to do is run one instance
of Shoes containing the manual, and generally run one instance per
script? Cause were not on a Mac now, so there's not this persistent
Application which appears in the Dock and is represented by a bare main
menu.nib?
It should be possible to add shoes to your {gnome, kde, fwm, %s} desktop
tools, but I don't know how in general.
mentally adjusting here...
And they tell people that GUI's are intuitive :-)
Thanks!
