To all:

I have a bunch of scripts. I'd be perfectly happy to throw them all in
a zipfile and email them, as they'd be a bit much to place here.

The scripts I have are:

1. Mail file with Evolution  --  opens an Evolution email window and
attaches the selected file
2. Mount iso  --  Mounts an ISO file
3. Open with root Gedit  --  Opens the selected file with Gedit with
root privileges
4. Root Nautilus here  --  Opens a root Nautilus in whatever directory you're in
5. Root terminal here  --  Opens a root Gnome-terminal in whatever
directory you're in
6. Run as su  --  Runs the selected file with superuser privileges
7. Search here  --  Opens a search window and sets it to the directory
you're in (instead of ~/)
8. Terminal here  --  Opens a Gnome-terminal in whatever directory you're in
9. Unmount iso  --  Does a umount on the ISO file you mounted with 'Mount iso'.

Email me direct at carney1979 at gmail.com and I'll send them to you
fairly quickly. I still want to add a few comments to them stating
requirements that each script needs to run, etc.
