 No I haven't but I will, and  I have tried 
 Exec=/mystic/mis -d but doesn't want to appear but will read the
unix-install.txt
 with this one  have tried  Exec="/mystic/mystic -l 
 and Exec="/mystic/mystic -cfg and both work thank you
 just have to play around with Exec="/mystic/mis -d" or go the usualy
 way via terminal ie sudo ./mis -server

okay, I had a quick look at unix-install.txt so will study it and have a go
at the above suggestion, thank you

cool,thats sound like a good suggestion.

okay, I get a "Linux for Dummies" and study it.

Thank you for your help with this.
