I tried to find the answer by looking at

    http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixRemasteringHowto

But the site says
    Down for Maintenance - Documentation section

    The knoppix.net server is currently down for maintenance.
    (upgrading the wiki software)

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

You could look there later.

It could be a good idea to provide a version of knoppix including poplog
so that windows users could install the knoppix CD (a 'live cd') and
then reboot and run poplog without having to install linux on their
machines.

(Though maybe it will persuade them of the benefits of linux --
reliability, security, flexibility, etc. and they will end up installing
it!)

If you are talking about windows, I have no idea. If you are talking
about unix/linux, you can use pop11 to run one of the existing
search utilities, e.g. find, grep, etc.

There are several ways of doing this depending what you want to achieve.
If you simply use sysobey the output will be printed to the current
terminal window.

If you wish to read in responses and process them in pop11 as they are
generated, you can use
    run_unix_program
(see the help file).

If you want to run a shell search program in Ved and have all the output
printed to a Ved file you can use commands like

    ENTER sh ls -Rlt ~  | grep string

to read into ved all the names of files containing string

or use the find command

    ENTER sh find ~ -name "*foo*" -print

To search all files under a certain directory for those containing
the string 'foo' you can do

    ENTER sh grep -R foo ~

and many more!

The procedure cucarout(c) prints the charachter c (an 8 bit ascii
character) to the terminal

e.g. this prints 'cat'. (See HELP ASCII)

    cucharout(`c`); cucharout(`a`); cucharout(`t`);
