Pico is also the text editor used by Pine, if you've ever used that. Beware if you are editing system files with pico- it will do a hard wrap of long lines, which can cause unfortunate results on config files and such.
In script file #!/usr/local/bin/revolution (or whereever your revolution is) on startup library "mystack.rev" end startup
Oh wait! This reminded me. Maybe that's an uneccessary step? If you look at the contents of a .rev stack file, it is actually a shell script that starts off with this script, before the binary content begins
#!/bin/sh # MetaCard 2.4 stack # The following is not ASCII text, # so now would be a good time to q out of more exec mc $0 "$@"
So, if the mc binary is on your PATH, you are good to go- no need to write a wrapper shell script to invoke the engine- the stack file itself is a shell script!!
chmod 777 filename t Makes a file executable.
And world writable... chmod 755 is a little saner - although this if it isn't a multiuser system it doesn't matter :-)
