Crossword Genius

Run straight to the point (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

direct

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'run' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'straight' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

'to the point' is the third definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for direct that I've seen before include "Command to be straight" , "the shortest way" , "'Straight, without deviation (6)'" , "Following the quickest path without deviation" , "Take charge, of a company or film say" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
