The QuickRun menu is really a program manager. You can add items and groups
to the menu. Items are executable files, and groups contain items. Items
and groups can be deleted or edited. To launch items, just click on them.
For example, if you want to group all the games on your harddrive and access
them from the QuickRun menu, follow these steps: 1) Choose 'Configure...'
from the QuickRun menu. 2) Select 'Add group'. 3) Type in the name of the
group, in this case - 'Games'. 4) Now, look at the QuickRun menu and you will
see the word 'Games' added to the list. To the left of the name is a diamond
symbol signifying a group instead of an item. Now click on the 'Games group'
and the QuickRun menu heading changes to 'Games'. 5) Add games to the group
by left-clicking on their executable filenames and selecting 'Add to
QuickRun'. You will be prompted for a name for this item and any parameters
you wish to add. If you place a '&[*.*]' on the parameter line, you
are telling Desk+Plus to run the Browse utility for you to select a file to
insert between the brackets. (i.e. '/l &[*.BAS]' will invoke the Browse
utility. You will be able to navigate directories, but only files with an
extension of .BAS will be shown. You can choose one of these and click on
OK or click on CANCEL to quit browsing and return to Desk+Plus).
