Wow. What a weekend! I'm bowled over by your progress Scotty and others.

I have made these changes to /mnt/settings/er_registry.txt

1. add ;SHELL to the end of the line that starts uaIDList

2. add these lines under the EBA section:

[SHELL]
category=viewer
arguments=<FILENAME>
exec=/bin/sh
xResourceName=sh
channel=3
extensions=sh

... then reboot.

Once done, you will be able to execute shell scripts, including the network and dropbear startups by clicking on them.

Note that /mnt/settings/er_registry.txt is occasionally overwritten from /etc/er_registry.txt, so you may want to change that too.
