- On the right side of the screen, there are bunch of icons that you
- can click on to launch apps on the NeXT. This is built into the NeXTStep
- interface.
-
- However, this isn't done in windows, so people have written some
- tools to actually do it.
-
- Most of them suck, but I have seen one which is absolutely exceptional
- and will allow you to just drag things from the File Manager and onto the
- Dock. There are many properties you can set, and you can also launch any
- app by double clicking the top icon.
-
- It's called windock.zip and is available from cica in util or misc
- (I forget)
-
- At 10$, it's a steal.

- Toodlepip!
