[E-devel] new: user help here ?

[<mal...@t-...>]

Hi all,

  Is this the right place to get some user help with Enlightenment ?  If not, 
just tell me.  

  On the other hand, I find Enlightenment to be very interesting.  I'd like 
it to replace my usual desktop at home and eventually at work.  I got the 
stock distribution from installing Mandrake 8.0 which I believe is E16. I 
have some questions though:

(1)

I cannot create user menus.  Well I can create them, but they are not active, 
i.e. they do not do anything at all.  I want for instance to launch Eterm 
from a menu instaed of always having to launch a terminal then launch Eterm 
from it.  So I created a file.menu file in the .enlightenment directory 
(there was no such file before) and placed simply this in it:

Exec
"Eterm" NULL exec "Eterm"
"Emacs" NULL exec "emacs"

I click with the left mouse button and I see those entries, but when choosen, 
nothing happens.  What gives ?

(2)

I read there are some little apps called epplets.  Looks like there are some 
distributed with Enlightenment.  But where are they and how can I start them ?

(3)

Is there such a thing at the present time like a complete user guide ?  The 
on-line help is helpful and well done, but still quite brief.

(4)

Is it possible to adjust the volume or the on/off status of separate sound 
events ?

Cheers,

Alain
