A "GO" icon? Any structure you build should be editable. Thus, you could do this: Pick up ls. Drop it into "Build" window. Drop pr in next to it. Click ls and pr to link them. Pick up files and printer icons. Click a, ls, b, ls, pr, lp to hook them up. Click "GO". If you decide not to ls b, you could pick up b and drop it back on the desktop before you click GO.
