will load the specific program which is often in the form
of a !Runimage in the !App. directory. The first command
in a !Run file is usually a *Iconsprites command. This
points to the !Sprites file in the App. directory and
tells the operating system (OS) where to find the icons
for the App directory and any filestypes associated with
it.

   One other file you will find inside any App. directory
is the !Boot file. This is exactly like a !Run file,
except that it is only executed when a directory with an
Application directory inside it is opened.

   You should now have a basic knowledge of how
Application direcories work, but to really get to know how
everything fits together, have a good look round inside
some programs like Edit or Draw. Load the !Run and !Boot
files into Edit to have a look at them. By far the best
way of gaining a complete understanding of App.
directories, is to have a go at creating your own, and use
it to run a simple basic program. I have included an
example on the magazine disc. Notes have been added to the
files to explain each of the parts.
