Adding Program Items to Program Groups

In the program list, you can add a program item to a group. A program item contains startup information about a program file. When you choose the program item, MS-DOS Shell starts the program according to your instructions.

NOTE: A program item is not the program file itself. If you add a program item, you add only the program list's startup instructions for that program. The program itself remains in its directory on your hard drive.

To add a program item:

1. Open the group you want to add a new item to.
2. From the File menu, choose New.
   The New Program Object dialog box appears.
3. Select the Program Item option button and choose the 
   OK button.
   The Add Program dialog box appears.
4. Type a name for the program item (up to 23 characters).
5. In the Commands box, type the name of the program file
   that runs the program, along with any additional switches
   or parameters.
6. If you want, specify a startup directory, application
   shortcut key, password, or advanced properties for this
   item.
7. Choose the OK button.


To specify a shortcut key combination in the Application Shortcut Key box:

1. Select the Application Shortcut Key box.
2. Press and hold down one of the following keys: SHIFT,
   CTRL, or ALT, and then type a letter. 
   MS-DOS Shell displays the keys you pressed. If [none]
   appears in the text box, the shortcut key combination you
   entered is unavailable. Try another combination.

For example, if you want to use SHIFT+W to move to Microsoft Word, you would press SHIFT and then type w. MS-DOS Shell would display SHIFT+W in the text box and next to the program title in the Active Task List.

NOTE: Some key combinations are not available. Do not use the following key combinations:

CTRL+C
CTRL+M
CTRL+I
CTRL+H
CTRL+[

Associating Files with a Program

Any file in the file list can be linked with a program so that opening the file automatically starts the program. Files are associated by their filename extensions. For example, you could link files that have the .TXT extension with MS-DOS Editor so that when you open a .TXT file, MS-DOS Editor automatically starts and opens that file.

You can also associate files without extensions to a program file. Note that every file without an extension will be associated with the selected program file.

To associate a file with a program:

1. Select the program file that you want to associate
   files with.
2. From the File menu, choose Associate.
   The Associate File dialog box appears.
3. Type the extensions of the files that you want to
   associate with the program, separating each
   extension with a space. To associate all files without
   an extension with a program file, type a period instead
   of an extension.
4. Choose the OK button.

Or

1. Select a file that has the extension you want.
2. From the File menu, choose Associate.
   The Associate File dialog box appears.
3. Type the path and program filename of the program you
   want to associate with that extension.
4. Choose the OK button.

NOTE: When associating multiple extensions, you can type up to 79 characters in the dialog box. However, you can only associate an extension with one program at a time. For example, you can't associate the extension .TXT with two different text-editing programs at the same time.
