1.) Navigate to System > Preferences > Main Menu.
2.) The Main Menu opens.
3.) Select the desired application heading, in this example, "Education" to high-light it.
4.) Click on "+ New Item".
5.) The "Create Launcher" window opens.
6.) Select the Type, in this example, "Application"is selected.
7.) Now enter whatever name you desire. I used "FoundationStone".
8.) Now click on the "Browse..." button.
9.) The "Choose an application" window opens.
10.) Navigate to your desired folder, in this case, FoundationStone_4.0., and high-light it.
11.) Open the folder by clicking "Open".
12.) Now find the icon that starts the program, high-light it and click on open.
13.) The "Create Launcher" window will again appear.
14.) In the "Command" window,check to ensure the path to the program is now shown.
15.) If desired, add a comment in the "Comment" window.
