NAME
     fbrun - display run dialog window

SYNOPSIS
     fbrun [options]

DESCRIPTION
     fbrun(1)  is  basically  equivalent to the "Run..." dialog in other desktop
     environments. This means that it is an easy way to  start	a  program  that
     isn't  contained in the menu (or needs a special set of parameters for this
     particular invocation).

     Pressing "Enter" will close the window and  execute  the  command	in  your
     present  $SHELL.  Pressing "Esc" will close the window and does not execute
     anything.

     Another way fbrun can be useful is to be called from the menu with  a  pre-
     loaded command line that you can edit and then execute. An example might be
     sshing  to  a very long host name with lots of options of which one changes
     all the time. In this case, you could add an entry for fbrun to  your  menu
     that  contains  all the options and the host name. When you use said entry,
     you could edit the line as necessary and execute it.
