9NAME
10----
11fbrun - display run dialog window
12
13SYNOPSIS
14--------
15*fbrun* ['options']
16
17DESCRIPTION
18-----------
19*fbrun(1)* is basically equivalent to the ``Run...'' dialog in other desktop
20environments. This means that it is an easy way to start a program that isn't
21contained in the menu (or needs a special set of parameters for this particular
22invocation).
23
24Pressing ``Enter'' will close the window and execute the command in your present
25*$SHELL*. Pressing ``Esc'' will close the window and does not execute anything.
26
27Another way fbrun can be useful is to be called from the menu with a
28preloaded command line that you can edit and then execute. An example might be
29sshing to a very long host name with lots of options of which one changes all
30the time. In this case, you could add an entry for fbrun to your menu that
31contains all the options and the host name. When you use said entry, you
32could edit the line as necessary and execute it.
