Bless you, SIR! I made sure all machines have it. One had it
already; but I can't find a launcher for it. Is there one?
Knowing that I have trouble recalling the name, and therefore
will also with the command, I meant to put a launcher on the panel of
each machine. I guess I'll have to make one -- for the first time ... --
unless I'm missing something.
