WANTED**: A basic VB.NET application that is used to load other applications, similar to grouping shortcuts on the WinXP desktop. The program will group applications together, and provide multiple actions (different programs with different command line parameters) for each program. See below for more details.
**Summary**
* * *Our company maintains a number of different small, modular applications. With each customized installation, there is a different set of applications needed. Furthermore, each application has multiple associated actions (execution, help, configuring).

The name of the program will be the **_PeARL Console_**.
The following screen shot provides a sample output of what the program should look like:
