I will need help crafting front end scripts. The last time I thought of
trying front end scripts the following problems emerged:
There are 33 programs in /usr/andrew/bin that are sym-linked to
a common runtime program named runapp.
runapp uses argv[0] to then decide which program it is really running.
It may be possible to write a wrapper around runapp that will
successfully pass in argv[0] to real runapp, but I couldnt figure out
how to do it ever before.
