Generally you just type the name of the program, and hit Enter. Most programs have options you can add for a specific function; a simple example would be "gedit .signature", which opens a (hidden) file in your home directory. If the file doesn't exist, gedit automatically creates it.
Use the Tab key if you're unsure of a program name.
