  2. Select the Journal on top of Sugar's Frame.
  3. Drop down to bottom-left corner of screen, the Frame will retract and show two USB icons.
  4. Select the 2nd (right) USB (ASLOxo).
  5. Drag-drop the desired application.xo (hold down the left button and drag the entry) from the listing into the sugar-journal on the bottom (left USB icon) corner of the monitor OR double click on application.xo in the list of the ASLOxo USB-stick.
