==Copy to Journal Script==
[http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/phil/support-scripts;a=blob_plain;f=copy-to-journal This Python script] by Reinier Heeres and Phil Bordelon seems to do the trick.

This allows you to copy files from [[Linux]] to the [[Journal Activity]] filesystem.

To use it, save it using the name '''copy-to-journal.py'''.  Save it in /home/olpc using the [[Opera]] web browser.
Go to the [[Terminal Activity]], and type
 cd /home/olpc
To go to the directory you saved the file in.  Then type
 python copy-to-journal.py FILENAME -m MIMETYPE -t TITLE
*  '''FILENAME''' is the name you saved in the filesystem,
*  '''MIMETYPE''' is the [[Mimetype]] (eg txt or pdf).
*  '''TITLE''' is the name you want in the journal.

==Copy from Journal script==

Go to the [[Terminal Activity]], and type
 cd /home/olpc
