Before you begin: Your Macintosh should be on. If you’re a

floppy

disk startup person you should start up from the IIe Startup Disk, as
explained in “Starting Up From the

IIe Startup Disk” in Chapter 3.

1. Find your Apple IIe program.

If the program is on your hard disk, open the hard disk and folders
so you can see the program’s icon. If the program is on a floppy disk,
insert the disk into an empty disk drive and open the disk so you can
see the program’s icon.

2. Double-click the program’s icon.

Apple IIe program names often have a period and the word “SYSTEM”
after them. Their icons look like this:

(To see full-size icons like this one, choose “by Icon” from the
View menu.)

After you double-click, the IIe Startup program opens and your
Apple IIe program is launched.

When you are in the Apple IIe environment, you start up Apple IIe
programs the same way you would on an Apple IIe:

1. If you have only one disk drive, press

x-Shift-1 to eject the

IIe Startup Disk from the built-in disk drive.

If you plan to start up the Apple IIe program from another drive,
you don’t need to eject the

IIe Startup Disk.

To eject a disk from a second built-in floppy disk drive, press

x-Shift-2.
