Learning the basics

If you are a new Macintosh user, take a look at the Macintosh Tutorial,
available in the Guide menu. The tutorial teaches you the basic skills you’ll
need to use your computer. To start the tutorial, follow these steps:

1

Slide your mouse along your mouse pad or desk.

Hold the mouse as shown, with the cable pointing away from you. Don’t press
the mouse button (under your index finger). Notice that the arrow (

8) on the

screen moves in the same direction that you move the mouse.

If the arrow doesn’t move, make sure that the cables connecting the mouse and
keyboard are secure and that your mouse is positioned as shown in the
illustration.

2

Move the tip of the arrow (

8

) to the question mark (

h

) in the upper-right portion of

the screen.

If you run out of room on your mouse pad or desk while moving the mouse,
pick up the mouse and place it where there’s more room. (The arrow on the
screen moves only when the mouse is in contact with the mouse pad or desk.)

3

With the tip of the arrow on the question mark, press and hold down the mouse button.

A list of choices (called a menu) appears. This is the Guide (

h) menu, which

is the place to go when you have a question about how to use your computer.
