I think since I always have Konsole open and ready, it is easier for me to use it. If I rarely had Konsole open, then that might come in handy. I have Konsole with several tabs open and parked on desktop 3. It's stuck there at all times. I have 18 virtual desktops and some have specific programs on certain desktops. Seamonkey web browser is always on desktop 1. Seamonkey email is on desktop 2. The list goes on. I'm pretty organized in that way. ;-) >> I >> kinda wish I had a terminal with dolphin or something.

I have Konsole set to run su - when it opens so that messes up that. It opens and cd's to the directory but wants to run as root. I guess I could find a way to get a root Konsole another way but most of the time, I need it as root anyway. On the rare occasion I need it as my user, I just su dale and carry on. I will say this, using mv was much easier and faster than my old way a bit ago. Thanks Arve for that suggestion. It's command line but it works well and does exactly what I want. I was hoping for a GUI method but this works. Dale :-) :-)
