The dangerous functions are locked up. Instant word processor. Now close the program and go to the Program Manager's File menu and select Run. Voila, same program opened via a somewhat different route. The containers can be shrunk so the contents are invisible, or they can be turned into windows so you can see the icons.
Individual programs tend to be installed in individual program groups.
If you have a fair number of programs, these groups tend to proliferate to where you have trouble finding the program you want. The good news is there's nothing that precludes putting the icons for, say, your word processor and spreadsheet into the Main program group. All you need to do is click on the object and drag it where you want. Or you can go to the File menu and create your own program group with its own name. And since those icons merely represent the underlying program files, you can have more than one icon pointing at the underlying file.
