An addendum to randy's response to stephen's question:

(If you run programs from both command.prg and the desktop.)

I've found it's most convenient to use the .prg extension and use the Install
Application option to specify the program type (TOS or TOS-TAKES-PARAMETERS).
Command.prg does not recognize .tos or .ttp as a default program extension
like it does .prg.  For example, MicroEMACS would be named me.prg and be
installed as TOS-TAKES-PARAMETERS.

Be sure and save the desktop after installing an application!

Btw, does anyone know if there is a limit on the number of installed
applications?  (Or what the practical limit is?)
