The icon labeled Add-Ons on the Home Page provides access to these tools. When you select it,
links are displayed for installed software applications, allowing you to launch them. (For
example, by default you will see a link to the Virtual Set Editor™ demo.

Page, providing a new set of selections on the icon ring. The name of the current session is
shown in the top-left corner of the screen. The current session is displayed in the form
“Home/session name”.
If you wish to leave the current session and return to the Home Page, you can click the large Back
