Apple IIe Card - Manual (Page 132)

You use the Apple IIe Option Panel to navigate through the Apple IIe
environment, and between the Apple IIe environment and the Macintosh
desktop.
To open the Option Panel from the Apple IIe environment, you must
press three keys at once: the Control key, the
x (Command) key, and the
Escape key. This key combination is usually written Control-
x-Esc. On
typical Macintosh keyboards, all three keys are on the bottom row.

Important: Don’t open the Option Panel while Apple IIe programs are
printing. Sometimes opening the Option Panel can disrupt printing.

A shortcut for opening the Option Panel from the Macintosh
environment
If you want the Option Panel to open as soon as the IIe Startup
program launches, hold down the Option key just after you double-click
the IIe Startup icon. Keep the Option key held down until the Option
Panel opens.
If you need to protect the Apple IIe Option Panel—in school labs
or in work areas where several users share the same computer, for
instance—you can do so in one of three ways, as explained in the next
three sections.
Locking the preferences file
While the preferences file is locked, users will not have access to any of
the panels used to change Option Panel settings, though they can still
click the Option Panel buttons. You can lock and unlock the preferences
file as often as you like.
