Erm, "a lot of scripts" is just "debbie [program name] in exec part of .desktop script.
So, it's exactly same shortcut as for every Maemo program, yet, You put "debbie " before name of ED program. Doesn't sound to be very complicated, eh?
Of course, such program need to be first installed in ED.

Once a script/programme/etc. is executable, how different is creating a shortcut in ED compare with normal desktop Debian (that I use on a daily basis, albeit as a complete novice)? Also, I think there's a section specifically for what you're asking in the ED wiki; I know the servers are being dodgy this weekend, so look tomorrow.
I see both sides of the argument here. Using the terminal can be quite daunting. On the other hand, the advantage of using the terminal is to automate processes. It's all about the programming principle of "write one, read many" - in this case read ≡ run.
At first, this will seem counter-intuitive because of the effort required to create the automation but a small amount of terminal can go a very long way. Also, you know saying things like this won't wash:
it sounds like "I don't know what to do and won't bother finding out how" - we'll help, even show you how to do things, but you gotta do them yourself.
It's not quite clear what you want to do. Are you trying to start a Maemo programme in the chroot? Or are you trying to run an ED programme? Or do you want a shortcut to the Maemo applications menu?

Unfortunatly i am not too clever when it comes to Xterminal and scripts nor do i have much patients for it unfortunatly.
I was wondering, i know its possible for an application in Easy Debian to have a shortcut in the main Hildon menu or desktop but it requires alot of script & useage of xterminal to get there.
Would it at all be possible for someone to qrite a simple program so that we could just select our app & it would simply make the shortcut for us?
It would be INCREDIBLY helpful and HUGELY appreciated if someone would be willing to take this on.
Thanks
Craig
