File - New Item (Program Manager)

          New Item.. -- Selecting the File menu New Item ..
          option opens a dialog box that allows the user to
          create a new Open Script.  Open Scripts are
          basically iconized shell scripts(sh) which provide
          the user with a convenient way of automating
          common tasks.  The program manager is a flexible
          tool for creating Open Scripts.

          Selecting the New Item menu option opens the Item
          Properties dialog box.  The dialog box prompts the
          user to type in selected information that the
          program manager uses to create an Open Script.
          The dialog box requires a name for the new Open
          Script.  It optionally requires a UNIX command to
          identify what application program to execute.  The
          user can specify a working directory for the
          execution of the application.  Users can also
          specify the name of an icon in the
          freedom_software/icons directory, the default, or
          can specify the complete path to an icon of their
          choice.
          
          The Menu Properties dialog has a toggle, that
          directs the program manager to invoke the terminal
          emulator program (xterm) and run the Open Script
          from there.  The toggle is turned off (light
          color) if the application is run stand-alone.  If
          the application requires the terminal emulator to
          run, then the there are two additional toggles
          that control the terminal actions.  The page
          through toggle limits the terminal to displaying
          output one page at a time.  This prevents an
          application from scrolling its output through the
          terminal emulator too fast to be read.  The second
          toggle is the Pause After Done toggle.  This
          toggle forces the terminal emulator to remain open
          until the user presses  ENTER, even though the
          program that was invoked, has completed its
          operation.  The Page Through and the Pause After
          Done toggles are not mutually exclusive.  These
          toggles can be on or off in any combination.
