- You may certainly run them from an icon. You may also "run" a .cmd
- file from an icon. You may also write a REXX program and "run" it from
- an icon.

- However, is there not a way to use a "?" in the parameters field of an
- object, causing it to prompt at run-time? (I am at a DOS machine
- without recourse to references, so I must posit this as a question.)
