Default Simple Question: Is there equivalent to "Run" in CDE?

Hi,

In CDE, one Solaris 9, is there a way to bring up a "Run" dialog to
execute a program, similar to Start->Run in Windows? If so, how to do
this?

Thanks,
Jim

You mean like selecting "This Host" on the third panel from the right?

Or do you really want just the capability of entering a single line?

CJT,

The latter. I know that I can enter a command line in term/xterm. I'm
trying to find out if there's a way to bring up a "Run" dialog, where it
allows you to enter an executable/command line.

I think you'd have to roll your own one-liner and create an action
invoking it.
