By design, using Commodoties is pretty easy. The standard
convention is to click on them once to start them, and a
second time to stop them. It's also possible to run
Commodoties directly from the Shell. For example, if
everything is set up properly, you should be able to enter

AUTOPOINT

at the Shell and the Commodity will run. It won't
automatically return control to the Shell though until you
quit the commodity. It's therefore better to run it, like
this:

RUN AUTOPOINT

This will let Autopoint run in the background, allowing the
Shell to be used or even closed.

Some Commodities also have a special "hot key" combination
-- when you press the right keys the Commodity's user
interface will appear.

For example, the Screen Blank commodity will wait for
Control and B: press it and up pops the special window from
where the various settings can be adjusted.

Making Commodities start automatically is easy too: all you
need to do is drag them from where they are stored into the
WBStartup drawer. All programs in this drawer will be
launched every time the Amiga loads its Workbench. You can
see that I have quite a collection of Commodities launched
when I switch on my Amiga.

If you want to include the Commodoties in your StartupSequence
rather than in the WBStartup drawer, you'll need to make
sure you include a line like this:

RUN >NIL: AUTOPOINT
