you're in the Macintosh environment; the other way works if you're in the

Apple IIe environment.

This section has two exercises -- one to illustrate each method. Depending on

your setup, you may be able to complete only one of them.

Method 1: Double-clicking a Macinstosh icon

When you are in the Macintosh environment, you can launch Apple IIe programs

the same way you launch Macintosh programs -- by double-clicking an icon.

Can you do the double-click exercise? To do this exercise, you must have an

Apple IIe program on a 3.5-inch ProDOS disk. The program must not be copy-

protected.

You must also have one empty disk drive. Consequently, you cannot do this

exercise if you're a floppy disk startup person who has only one floppy disk

drive.

If you can't do this exercise, skip ahead to "Method 2: Restarting the Apple

IIe Card."

The double-click exercise. Follow these steps to launch an Apple IIe program

by double-clicking its icon.

Before you begin: You'll need one of your own Apple IIe program disks to

complete this exercise. Also, your Macintosh should be on, you should be in

the Macintosh environment, and you should quit any programs you might be

running.

1. If you're a floppy disk startup person, make sure you've started up from

the IIe Startup Disk.

See the instructions in "Starting Up From the IIe Startup Disk," at the

beginning of this chapter.

2. Find one of your Apple IIe program disks.

If you want to use one of the Macintosh computer's built-in disk drives, the

program should be on a ProDOS disk and it should not be copy-protected.

3. Insert the disk into a built-in disk drive.

The disk's icon appears on the desktop.

4. Open the icon of the disk you just inserted.

Double-click the icon to open it.

5. Choose "by Icon" from the View menu.

6. Double-click the icon of the program you want to run.

Look for an icon that has a name that ends with the word "SYSTEM."

After a moment, the program appears on the screen.

7. Use the program as you wish.
