Hello,
Making the folder is easy. Just make a new folder. Call it Applications on the new volume.
Then, when you install programs, use the customize features in a bunch of the installers to shift the volume from your system drive to your second drive. I have done this on my powerbook, and really like the split approach.
Be careful if you are doing this with darwin - unix software. You may cause the creation of a bunch of other folders like /bin /usr and that on the second drive. may confuse things. So far, I have been alright with OpenOffice. I just leave the extra folders alone.
Even if you do split the drives, some nuggets of a program will go to your system volume. That is just the nature of the beast.
