Thanks Kenneth
I got most of my answers from your reply in another thread.
First, running bench version and not bench --version showed me the version of frappe along with bench and it v13
With that and your replies in the link below I knew what needed to be done.
I can see modules and can add shortcuts to them. Add good and clear.
One last question remains. What is the best way to update bench in such circumstances. I cant use bench update for reasons mentioned above.
