I tested cwm(1) as daily driver and it took me a few reads to understand what "applications".
They're predefined commands you put into cwmrc(5) but cwm(1) does not mention that, plus the option for it is `command` not `application`, so searching a tag "application" did not find it; only the comment in EXAMPLES showed me how to use it. I guess there's some better wording for it, but the following diff links the concept to the actual configuration option. Feedback? OK? While here, call the configuration file what it is instead of reusing the default path (already mentioned somewhere else).
