copying script from server to home computer using nova terminal
I'm using a nova session to create and edit scripts on my school's unix server.
I would like to pull my script off the server and put it in a notepad file on my desktop for the purposes of editing and copying and pasting my script in forums.
Can someone please help me with this? I'm sick of using the VI editor; I should be able to just edit scripts in notepad and then put them onto the server right?
Please excuse my ignorance in this matter
Thanks
V/R
Mike

gnome-desktop-item-edit(1) User Commands gnome-desktop-item-edit(1)
NAME
gnome-desktop-item-edit - GNOME Desktop file editor
SYNOPSIS
gnome-desktop-item-edit [--create-new] filename
DESCRIPTION
gnome-desktop-item-edit is the GNOME Desktop file editor, which you can use to create or edit the .desktop (known as desktop) file. GNOME
uses a standard desktop file specification as proposed by freedesktop.org. A desktop file consists of a number of name-value pairs that
define how a desktop should organize a particular application. As this is defined as an open standard, integration of applications into
GNOME Desktop is relatively straightforward.
A basic entry in the desktop file must start with a tag called [Desktop Entry]. It can then have a number of name-value pairs as defined by
the standard. The minimum entries are as follows:
Name the name of the application
Comment a textual description of the application which is displayed as a tooltip message by gnome-panel. When set appropri-
ately, the comment can be localized within the same file.
Exec the name of the actual executable
Icon the file name of the icon image
Type the desktop file type
Categories a multi-string field which is used by gnome-panel to group applications into the appropriate categories.
These desktop files provide the information to gnome-panel, which places the application in the appropriate locations on the panel. In
a similar manner, the GNOME file manager (Nautilus) uses information from the desktop files to display the 'applications:///' view.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--create-new Creates a new .desktop file.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
filename The name of the desktop file to be edited or viewed.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Editing an existing .desktop file
example% gnome-desktop-item-edit fullpath/filename
This command invokes the launcher dialog and loads the contents of the specified desktop file into the relevant fields.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Application exited successfully
>0 Application exited with failure
FILES
The following files are used by this application:
/usr/bin/gnome-desktop-iExecutable for GNOME Desktop file editor
/usr/share/applications/Desktopofile
