Here, make this work with run-1.2.0-1 or run-1.3.1-1 and you'll
make a believer out of me.
run $WINDIR/system32/mstsc.exe /multimon /v:$IP:3389
And until such time as somebody actually gets around to fixing
'run' it would be nice if there was an alternate choice of
run-1.3.0-1 that just seems to work with every command
I feed it.
