Edit/Define Field and Button Descriptions
The External Applications Edit/Define dialog box contains the following fields
and buttons.

When you define the Menu Pick/ Command pair and then press Add, ECM
adds the information to the buffer and adds the Menu Pick temporarily to
the Applications section. When you press Update, ECM saves the
information permanently in the system. The menu pick then appears in the
Applications section whenever you open the dialog box.
Menu Pick Contains a menu pick.
Enter the name of a menu pick in this field, then the command it will
execute in the Command field. After you press Update, this menu pick will
appear in the External Apps submenu.
Command Contains the command to be executed by the name in the menu pick field.
Enter the command that will be executed when you click on the related
menu pick in the External Apps submenu.
Button Description
Add Adds the Menu Pick to the Applications section.
Use Add after creating each Menu Pick/Command pair. Remember when
you press Add, ECM adds the information to the temporary buffer. You still
need to use Update to save information permanently.

To edit these fields, click the cursor in the field, add or delete text, and then
press Modify. ECM adds the new information to the buffer. When you press
Update, ECM saves the information permanently.

Update can only work if you have used Add, Delete, or Modify to first send
information to the buffer.
