Ok I want to make a serious contribution, so I downloaded the console version of folding but I have some basic dumb questions. I have looked at the FAQ but I need a step by step process, I am completely a newb when it comes to the terminal.
Ok question 1, I have the console version downloaded but how do I run it without having the terminal open(this scares my mom) I know mc68k has some scripts but when I launch them in the terminal they open a separate window, help?
This is what my terminal looks like.

Do i have to copy the stuff from mc68k's script into this terminal window in order to have the program run auto matically.
2. is there a script our there so folding runs only when I'm not using the computer, I don;t want folding stealing my processor power when I'm playing a game or doing a project.
3. Should I turn energy saver prefs to never sleep so folding runs or will by having the script automatically keep the computer running
Thanks for your help, please if you answer be specific I don;t know anything about the terminal, I only fix hardware, I'm not a programmer.
Ok question 1, I have the console version downloaded but how do I run it without having the terminal open(this scares my mom) I know mc68k has some scripts but when I launch them in the terminal they open a separate window, help?
