[Project_owners] Access to Terminal

[Jesper Staun Hansen]

Well, I think you missed a concept here. You dont need to start a 
terminal to start an application.
So you would just start "/usr/bin/wget" and not "/bin/bash 
/usr/bin/wget" as that would open a terminal right in the face of the 
user. You probably dont want that?
Instead just type them in. And darn, get a Linux OS if you wanna try'em 
out :)
