Though KWrite may most often be started from the KDE program menu, or a desktop icon, it can also be opened at the command line prompt of a terminal window. There are a few useful options that are available when doing this.
By specifying the path and name of a particular file the user can have KWrite open (or create) that file immediately upon startup. This option might look something like the following:
% kwrite /home/myhome/docs/myfile.txt |
The above-mentioned method could even be used to open files on the internet (if the user has an active connection at the time.) An example of this might look like the following:
% kwrite ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/Welcome.msg |
