Your computer came installed with several ready-to-use application programs.
You can open these programs by clicking their buttons in the Launcher.
The Apple Extras folder on your hard disk (or the Macintosh Performa CD)
contains other programs (some of which must be installed before they will
work), including the following:
m AppleScript. Macintosh Guide requires that AppleScript be on your hard
disk. With AppleScript you can automate tasks in the Finder and other
scriptable programs (programs that support AppleScript). Instructions for
using AppleScript are included in the AppleScript folder.
m QuickDraw GX gives your computer more powerful printing and font
capabilities. You’ll want to install QuickDraw GX if you purchased another

random-access memory (RAM), you can install QuickDraw GX by
opening the QuickDraw GX folder and double-clicking the Installer icon.
m PowerTalk provides an open collaboration environment with a universal
mailbox and other electronic mail services. You’ll want to install PowerTalk
