Making an Executable Job

To execute a job, you first turn it into an executable. Use the mouse to draw a box around your job on the Desktop: position the mouse, press the left mouse button, drag to the opposite corner, then release the button.

Drawing a box around a job

The job disappears and is replaced by a four-pointed Star, with the default name “Untitled”. To edit the job again, draw a box around the Star: it disappears and your job is restored.

At the Basic level, you can do three things with a Star:

  1. Execute it. See Executing a Job.
  2. Rename it, by left-clicking inside it and typing a new name.
  3. Store it on the Shelf, by dragging it there. Later, you can drag it back to the Desktop for more work. See Shelf.
