Yah, that might work for me. It's not something I feel all that strongly
about, though -- even the current way with the combo box gets the job done.

I guessed as much. :-) Actually, more serious from the usabiity point of
view is that the three-column display doesn't fit very well on to the
240-pixel-wide iPAQ screen. Either the cells need to get narrower, or
there need to be only two columns, or I need to start running my iPAQ in
landscape mode. Needless to say I'd prefer to avoid the latter option.

Oh, and it might be nice if it popped up some kind of error dialog when it
fails to launch an application.
