Apple IIe Card - Manual (Page 62)

The next few sections introduce you to the Apple IIe Option Panel. The
Option Panel allows you to set Apple IIe options and provides a means
of switching between the Apple IIe and Macintosh environments.
❖ By the way: For more detailed information about the Option
Panel, see “Personalizing Your Apple IIe Work Environment”
and “Configuring Cards and Slots” in Chapter 5.
❖
As you’ve seen before, while you’re in the Apple IIe environment you just
press Control-
x-Esc to open the Option Panel.
Before you begin: Make sure you’re in the Apple IIe environment.
You should either have an Apple IIe program or the BASIC prompt
(])
on your screen. (If not, double-click the IIe Startup icon.)
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. Press Control-
x-Esc to open the Option Panel.
Be careful not to press Option-
x-Esc, because that combination of
keys stops the program from running.
The Option Panel appears on the screen, as shown in the next step.
Normally, you would do some work before leaving the Option Panel,
but now the first skill you’ll learn is how to return to your Apple IIe
work.
