$ kuickshow /home/joe/photos-directory 
and that will start the kuickshow program, 
but this lacks two more steps I need. 

1) How can I invoke this command string to run from 
   an html menu in a manner similar to when I use this:
   <a href=file:///home/joe/subdir/filename.htm>View photos</a>
   in an html menu to view photos with my designated browser?

2) How can I get kuickshow to start and actually run 
   rather than just showing a list of photos in the named 
   directory, so I then have to click on the slideshow icon 
   to start the slideshow?
