Re: very simple question re; verbose?

[Jay Hamilton, Sound and Silence]

Oops, Mats your are using terms I'm not even sure I understand.
I know that linux users are 'supposed' to know all this stuff but that's 
truely not me.

So-
I know how to do a man command or help but ....

When I want to look at a lily file I either; open it with kwrite (yuck 
but it's available and ok)  or
I click on the file icon and a window opens that either tells me what is 
fine or not and
Another window with the notation to look at.

However it all happens so fast, even at that point that it does not seem 
possible to type in a 'verbose' command in the text frame at all.

Therefore you must be referring to something else.

A guess is that you think I'm opening a konsole and opening the file 
from there.

Let me know if this is what you thought I was doing and then which step 
is the common one to take.

Thanks
Jay
