People that access Unity or Eos in a tty mode (dial-up or telnet) can only access certain applications (ones written for tty interface). Examples of these include lynx (line-mode Web browser), pico (text editor) and elm (electronic mail). It's important to keep in mind that you can't access all applications when dialing in or telneting to Unity.
Regardless of your interface, software applications and resources change frequently as services improve. To a see a current list of available software and directions on how to run it, use the add command.
Entering add from your prompt displays a list of all available resources. To run one of the applications, enter add application_name and then enter the command in the last column to start the program. To run an application in the background, place an "&" after the command (available only on X stations). Running a program in the background means that when it is started from an Xterm window, you regain control of the Xterm window because the program starts in a new window.
The example below shows a listing of the output you receive from entering add on an HP workstation. Note that the software available will differ, depending upon the type of workstation you are using.

If "(none)" is listed under "Locker Name", then it is not neccessary to issue an add command before executing those commands. Most packages contain several different commands, which may be executed. Since exhaustively listing those commands here is not feasible, only the major ones are listed under "Command(s)". For lockers that contain collections of different software packages and thus do not have a small set of commands which may be defined as the major commands for that locker, "(various)" is listed under "Command(s)".
