What applications are available

Applications are larger programs that usually require you to interact with them extensively. (Utilities, in contrast, usually do just one thing and require little interaction.)

The standard applications that are available to SCO Shell are the e-mail program, the calendar, and the calculator. For details of these programs, see the Mail and Messaging Guide, ``Using the Calendar'' and ``Using the Calculator'' respectively.

You run an application the same way you run a utility; the only difference is that you select the application from the Application item rather than the Utility item on the top level menu.

Adding an application to the list

To add an application to the SCO Shell menu, select:

Options Applist

The procedure is essentially the same as for adding a utility (see ``Adding a utility to the list'' ), except that the application appears on the application list instead of the utility list.
