The next menu is usually Edit. Under the Edit menu
commands such as Undo, Cut, Copy, and Paste will be
found.

The common menu structure is one of the features of
Windows 98 that makes it easy to learn new software
programs. In fact, the more programs you know, the
easier it is to learn new programs.

Resizing A Window

An application window that is not maximized may also be
resized by dragging the side or corner of the window.

For example, if you were to drag the bottom right corner
of the Solitaire window toward the bottom right, the
entire window will enlarge. If you were to drag that same
corner toward the upper left, the window would shrink.

Moving A Window

To move a window on the screen, drag it's title bar, the
colored bar at the top of the application window, to a new
location on the screen. When you release the mouse
button, the window will snap into place at the new
location.

By judiciously sizing and moving windows, it's possible
to display more than one application on the screen at the
same time.

Multitasking Applications

If more than one program is running on your computer at
the same time, you may use the <Alt-Tab> keystroke to
switch from one program to another.

Or, you may click on the program's name on the taskbar
at the bottom of the Windows 98 screen.
