you're using Unix, so you've got to learn a few other ways to skin
a cat :-)
In this case, simply create a very small shell script, and run that,
you do have a directory for your own scripts etc don't you?
As an example:
--- cut here, File: start.schematics---
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/a/full/path/to/pspice:$PATH
export PATH
msimmgrd &
psched &
exit 0
--- cut here ---
then in fvwm:
Exec "Mgr/Schematics" exec start.schematics &
you could also redirect output from the programs into seperate log
files, or any number of other things. I use a trick like this to get
around AIX's braindead Xterm, which forget to set the window size
properly when starting up.
Hope this helps,
Steve
