seb:
I made a mistake when i posted the problem.
The file is really located in /usr/local/argoUML/, not usr/local/Foo
I was just trying to make the problem more generic because i think that the fact that it is this particular application is irrelevant. So your reply was correct, but my post was wrong.
So to state it correctly, This file is located in /usr/local/argoUML
In a terminal window, if I cd to /usr/local/argoUML and type:
./start.sh
then the application starts, no problem when i created the new menu item, in the command text box, I navigated to the file, so that this appears:
/usr/local/argoUML/start.sh
but this does not work

no it doesn't. good point. here are the results from trying it from the top:
# /usr/local/argoUML/start.sh
Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: No such file or directory
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:112)

# /usr/local/argoUML/.start.sh
bash: /usr/local/argoUML/.start.sh: No such file or directory
# ./usr/local/argoUML/start.sh
bash: ./usr/local/argoUML/start.sh: No such file or directory
So, i guess i need to find the right syntax for the command when not in the same directory as the start.sh file
