Oops, I thought I was communicating with Rich email to email. But, here is a cleaned up version of my post to this list, I was in a hurry when I wrote it earlier, and here's my clearer version of my launching Chirp problem.
Hi All, I have chirp installed on Ubuntu-Mate, 18.04. I installed an older Chirp because it works with my screenreader. The installed launcher does not work, but if I run chirpw in a terminal, it runs. Or I can type in the terminal: /usr/bin/chirpw and it runs fine too. ./chirpw does not work in this case. I have been trying to make a desktop launcher to do this, so I don't have to launch it in a terminal. I tried to make a desktop launcher, but it does not work, no errors, and no launching of chirp. Any ideas why I can launch it in a terminal, but not in a desktop launcher? Thanks.

Linux is different from windows in some ways, but once you get an application launched, it is just like Windows. It has a desktop like windows, you will see tomorrow.

hi Glenn… I am embarrassed to say, this is all over my head. Hopefully someday it will all make sense. Rich.
