The Apps Menu

The Apps menu (Figure 5.9) can used for running any command, for example PVM applications, performance monitoring software, Unix commands, etc. The most common use is to run the PVM application compiled by PVMmake . The commands are automatically saved in the .paderc file in the user's home directory and will appear in subsequent PADE sessions. For the Modify, Delete, and Run entries, the application or command is selected from a submenu of known commands.

The menu entries are:

• Add... -- adds a new command to the list of known commands. It brings up a PADE Entry window for specifying the command or executable file.

• Modify -- change the name of a command.

• Delete -- remove a command from the list of known commands.

• Run (in xterm) -- runs a command.
