Creating objects for the Desktop

Installing an executable

You can associate an executable file with an object by dropping the executable's icon on the Object Builder window or by selecting Executable from the Install menu and selecting the executable file from the file selection box.

When you drop an executable icon on the Object Builder window, you are prompted to specify whether or not the executable is a graphical application. A graphical application is one that is designed to run in a graphical environment, such as the Desktop. A non-graphical application can be run outside the graphical environment, or from a terminal emulation window (such as scoterm).
