AddApp allows you to install additional applications easily.
To install AddApp itself enter this command in a terminal window:
$ 0launch http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/AddApp
If you don't have the 0launch command, get it from 
the injector page. It's easy to install, as it's just a Python script.
When the command is run, a dialog box should pop up confirming that you want to download and run AddApp.
Click on Execute to download and run AddApp. You will now see a ROX-style savebox, offering to create a ROX wrapper for AddApp itself.
Drag the AddApp icon from the window into your Apps directory (or whereever you want it).
The easiest way to install a new program is to drag its URL from a browser window onto AddApp's icon in a filer window.
For example, drag the link http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/Edit to the icon now.
You will get another savebox, similar to the one above, but this time letting you create a wrapper for Edit.
More application URLs can be found in http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces.
The wrappers created by AddApp are not for specific versions of programs. Instead, they can be used to run any version. To change the version used, right-click on the wrapper in a filer window and choose Versions... from the menu.
This will display a dialog box letting you choose the version of Edit you want. Click on Refresh all now to check for newer versions.
The wrapper's menu only contains 'Versions...'. It should also list the application's normal actions, if any (fixed in version 0.5).
The tooltip and version information normally displayed by ROX-Filer aren't available (tooltip is now shown in 0.4)
The icon is a slightly recoloured version from Geoff Youngs' Zero Install helper app.
