subject: Re: Get to bash shell from Gnome?

From: Randall Parker 

Answer: Applications | Accessories | Terminal opens a bash shell.

Mind you, I had to type something with the wrong syntax to get it to tell
me that it was bash that was reporting the error. Only then I knew it was
bash.

So how can I copy that item on that menu submenu list and put it somewhere
more quickly accessible?
