 Can anyone tell me if there is a PD (or otherwise) DA which will
 launch regular applications (ie, like MacWrite).  I'd like to see
 one which would actually put the name of the Appl in the DA menu as
 if it were a DA, but when it was selected, the DA box would close
 and bypass the finder on the way to the appl.  I know that there are
 fkeys that will do this, but when using a terminal program, fkeys
 give problems with conflicts with predefined terminal keys.  Ideally
 you could just scroll down the DA menu and launch the program you
 want (ie, often used pgms), without having to go to the select box
 to choose the appl.  Hope this is clear what I'm looking for--
