Switching with a keyboard command

You can set a keyboard command, or hot key, to switch between the Mac OS
and the PC environment. To set the hot key, you must be in the Macintosh

the Hot Key text field; then type the keys you want to use.

The x key is automatically included. You can use any alphanumeric or special
key. You can also include other modifier keys (Option, Control, and/or Shift).

-Return always switches from the PC to the Mac OS, regardless of the

control panel setting.

You can also switch to the PC by clicking Switch to PC in the control panel.
