I think there are various ways to do it.
For instance, you could make a simple interactive script, that gives the 
users some choices:

A) WP5.1
B) Norton AntiVirus
C) DBase III
D) Quit

and then users choose one of the options. (The options form this menu are 
from 1995, obviously :-)

If you need to start two apss at the same time, and they are always the 
same two apps, then just make a script that starts both apps. 

I am not sure about the details; I think it's the general direction to go, 
tough.

Let us know if you solved the problem !
