Note: please use the quote tags properly... it makes your post hard to read.  You can click the iB Code Buttons if you can't remember which tags this board uses.  Plus you can edit and preview your post.

1. Use the / (root) icon (or manually run something like `dfm /` if its not there)

4.
Either... they're basically the same.
-T just changes the terminal emulator's title.
/path/to/link is just a local reference, whereas URI is some remote address.

Point taken about the quote tags - I've been using the HTML values "< >" in error.

Will try your response to 1.

Re 4 - thanks for the explanation.

Entering "dfm /" in a terminal allowed me to access folder /opt/bin to setup the file which when clicked in emelfm displayed my chosen web page in Netrik. At last!

However. On rebooting the file has disappeared from folder /opt/bin/ so my intended next step of setting up a desktop icon has been thwarted.

You'll have to backup/restore that file (or use a persistent opt etc.)  Please read the starting documentation when you first boot DSL (then follow up in the wiki, etc.).

Right. I thought that having "backup" ticked on the DSL Exit Options when closing down/rebooting automatically made everything persistent. Anyway I added the line "opt/bin/my_script_name" to .filetool.lst, did a Backup/Restore as an each way bet, and then exited via DSL Exit Options with "backup" ticked. And it worked.

To finish what seems like a mini odyssey I'm now pursuing the setting up of a desktop icon in the "X and Fluxbox" forum.

The help that's been given by everyone is much appreciated.
