1.) Right-click the desktop, choose CREATE NEW, then LINK TO APPLICATION 2.) Put a name in the text box on this first tab 3.) Click the EXECUTE tab, and in the space there, you can either browse for the application you want, or type in the true path name to the executable (for Netscape, it should be /usr/local/netscape/netscape) 4.) Click again on the FIRST tab, click the icon to the left of the box you put the name in and browse through all the pretty icons til you find the one you want. 5.)
