I recently came across a couple of dev. edition Agenda PDA's
with 66mgz, 8mg ram 16mg flash, kernel 2.4

These things pretty much died an early death commercially but
are great test/dev platforms especially for a clueless user/tester
like myself. if I knew more it might be "fun" to try and
get a minimal xfce working on it , However that is not the main reason 
for posting this rambling message.. 

A question I have wanted to ask for a couple of years....

setup with "add icon"

okay at commandline I ;
aterm -bg black -fg yellow -e su

and get mu 'su ready' teminal.....

However;

1> Can a passwd  be incorporated into the script so
it automatically goes into "superuser-root" mode.
(of course this is a trusted system) !!

2> Can the executable be incorporated as well so that....
"click icon with -e su and get program-running" ?

 I was prompted to ask this so that I could bring up 
the Agenda device with the icon as -e su and,
/usr/sbin/pppd ttyS0 10.1.1.2:10.1.1.3 noauth
 \nodetach novj debug 115200 local

Thanks for your patience....
Sometimes my word struckture does not a coherent sentence make !:)
