Application Builder and Startup forms

I recently acquired VFP 6 after having worked mainly with FPW 2.6a and VFP 5. I noticed the change over to the Application Builder versus the Application Wizard from VFP 5. In VFP 5, it was very easy to change the startup form in a project through the wizard and/or by changing a line or 2 of code in the main.prg. I want to be able to control the startup form displayed when my app starts and not have to use the app builder's default menu interface. I know I could make my own main simply by code along the lines of:

Code:
DO FORM xxxx.scx
READ EVENTS
....
CLEAR EVENTS

How can I achieve having my own startup form and/or menu while staying within/utilizing the application framework created by the builder? I feel like I'm missing something simple here...

Why is the application framework created by the builder important to you?

Why not consider simply using a main.prg in the conventional way and calling your main form from there?

You do know, don't you, that you can change the startup form or program simply by right clicking on the form or program in the progect manager and then clicking 'Set Main"?
