+-- "XMonad.Prompt.Shell" instead - but you want to have easy access to these

+-- > import XMonad.Prompt.DirExec
+--
+-- 2. In your keybindings add something like:
+--
+-- >   , ("M-C-x", dirExecPrompt defaultXPConfig "/home/joe/.scipts")
+--
+-- or
+--
+-- >   , ("M-C-x", dirExecPromptWithName defaultXPConfig "/home/joe/.scripts"

+-- The first alternative uses the last element of the directory path for

+-- for the name of the prompt.
