I am sorry if i am being a pain guys. Matthew's adivce was great I was 
able to add any commands i wished. The thing is doesn't work properly, 
meaning the selection never gets send to the command. eg: I select 
Documents and I send it to ls. Instead of listing the Documents 
directory, it lists the current directory, ~ in this case. I even tried 
full path. It doesn't work for grep command either. What am I doing 
wrong this time?
I appreciate your time
