Thanks. Yeah, I'm using a debian package of gambas 1.0.15 that was on my
xandros repository. It seems to be working well enough for now, though I saw
a message on here about a debian repository that has a version 2 package
that would be worth a try on an eeepc. 

Can you give me any information on installing this MIME information
manually? It's not a big issue, since I've worked out that if you create a
menu shortcut, it defaults to non-terminal. So I'll be doing that instead of
double clicking in file manager I guess.

I looked for an easy setting in file manager, and there were ways to control
whether documents were launched in console or not, but not 'a /usr/bin/gbx
-x script text executable' which is the filetype it reads as. Oh well

Thanks for the quick replies!
