Let's not forget the all important VOC file. From the command prompt, usually a colon ":" you can type the RUN command as outlined below, but there are also stored paragraphs and the locally cataloged programs that are in the VOC file. You can see a lot of those with LIST VOC. There are also other types of entries in the VOC file so not everything that comes up from the LIST command is going to be executable. You can get a lot of the available commands by typing the command HELP UNIDATA or HELP UNIQUERY. Other help commands are HELP SQL and HELP UNIBASIC. The HELP command by itself has all this but it's kind of difficult to pull that information out of what you're given in just the HELP command.
Folks here are very helpful and very knowledgeable.

John answered your sentence stack commands, so I'll take a shot at how to execute a program. Typically programs are stored in type 1 files, aka directories or folders, (terminology usually depends upon base operating system, *ix or windows). There's a corresponding file containing the object code. To execute the program, you would typically enter RUN filename programname at the command prompt. Then, there's cataloged code which is a method of storing object code so that it can be referenced by multiple users, (unless it's cataloged "locally"). You can also execute a program directly from its native host without entering UniData if you know where the binary executable lives. The last three are included only for some semblance of completeness, I believe that the answer you're looking for right now is paragraphs two and three.
