How do you install programs from the Mac App Store on a secondary drive?

I'm getting a smaller SSD drive for my new MBP and putting a second drive in the DVD Bay. I don't want all my Mac App Store programs installed on my main drive but rather some on my secondary drive for obvious reasons. I don't see an option or even a preference panel to do this. Am I missing something simple. How is this done?



Thanks

Bryan

    Install them. Then drag them from the Applications folder to your other drive.

    Of course you will want to make regular (incremental) backups of that secondary drive on a third (external) HD as well!

    Even though I've been on a Mac for 4 years now, I still think MS Windows where if you do that, you can really mess things up.
