If you're asking how to install menu shortcuts in a Linux gui, then you should see the Freedesktop menu specification (http://freedesktop.org/Standards/menu-spec). It defines a standard method for describing a "start" menu on Linux, and I believe it's currently used by both KDE and Gnome. Basically, you'd have to write a simple xml formatted file with a .desktop extension, declaring the executable's location, position in the menu, icon to use, etc. You'd then copy this file to $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications/ (/usr/share/applications/ on Fedora). The link to SPE should then automatically in appear in the menu. Chris
