When I double click “amsn” file from a graphical file browser, like Konqueror or Nautilus, it opens a text editor instead of running aMSN. What shall I do?
aMSN is written in Tcl/Tk, an interpreted language, so the “amsn” file is just a text file with the program code. The file manager might think it’s a text file, so it will launch the text editor. In Konqueror (KDE) or Nautilus (Gnome), running aMSN can be done by right-clicking the “amsn” file and choosing “Open with…” (Konqueror) or “Launch with…” (Gnome), depending on the file browser. Type “wish”. This launches the “amsn” script. If you are told the the “wish” command doesn’t exist, you need to install Tcl/Tk.
