[Tfug] non-technical question

[Don Freeman]

Hi there, I just installed Ubuntu and am trying to get the modem working. Is
there a way to open a command window (a la dos) so I can type a series of
commands without having to type them 1 at a time through the little "run as
another user" dialog? Also, is there a linux file format similar to the dos
BATCH file that allows a sequence of commands to be run together? And
finally, how do I go about installing the codecs so I can play my MP3s?

Thanks
