  There is a program called 'My Menu' that lets you add custom menus
to the workbench which launch executable files or scripts. Otherwise, 
take a look at Browser. It is excellent if you are using only floppies
and need all the space you can get. It lets you list directories by
filename, plus add switches to the AmigaDOS commands when you run them.
I would suggest Browser 1.3, even though there is a 1.7 release. I prefer
version 1.3 because the windows don't cover the entire screen as each one
opens, and it doesn't insist that you enter switches if there is no .info
file. It also lets you add tools to the Browser menu.
