The  Run a Program  option allows you to execute a program without selecting it from the menu. It would normally only be used to execute a program that does not appear on the menu. For example, if you have had data problems and need to run a  fix  program or a system analysis program supplied by Sterland Computing. To  execute a program without selecting it from the menu , perform the following: 1. From the  ProStix   Main Menu  select  'System Administration'  then  'Utilities'  then  ' Run a Program ' . 2. Type the program name to be executed into the ' Which Program? ' field, then select <enter>. 3. The program executes as though it has been loaded from the menu.
