i just downloaded sublime text for my ubuntu, and its working fine. i have the executable file in my

~/sublime

folder. now i would like to invoke this app from the terminal by just typing sublime. i suppose that is possible, pls let me know how.

also, since this application did not need any configure/make/install (i just had to extract it and then use the exec file to run the app), i cannot add this to my gnome launcher fav apps panel. how can i put the app shortcut there, so that when i do a top-left and then type sublime, the results will show the applicaion and then i can click on it and invoke the app from there?

thanks!
