Lets say you want to invoke the program "myprog" from a Swift script.

You write an "app" function called myprog() in the .swift file, and in tc.data you add entries to specify the pathname of that program on each "site" (e.g., cluster) that you want to compute on.

This is described in the Swift Tutorial, in sec 3.2, Adding Another Application:
