Using Leszynski inDirect

When you start Leszynski inDirect, a star icon is placed in the Windows notification area.  Tap on this icon to display the configuration dialog.  In the dialog, select a gesture by tapping on the gesture graphic and picking a built-in gesture to configure.  Then drag a shortcut from the Start menu into the command line text box, or enter a command line with the pen or keyboard.  The gesture and the command line will become associated.  Or, instead of a command line, you can drag a URL from the Address Bar in Internet Explorer into the Web site text box in the dialog to navigate to a Web site based on the associated gesture.

Leszynski inDirect places a small (non-visible) hotspot in the lower left corner of your desktop, just above the Start menu.  Move your pen to this area of the screen and the inDirect gesture panel displays.  Draw a gesture to which you have associated a command line or Web site, and the command will be executed.
