Installing application programs
You may want to buy and install additional application programs. See the
manuals you receive with these programs for instructions on installing and
using them.
To use your programs most effectively, follow these guidelines:
m Read the manuals you received with the program if you have a problem.
m Put only one copy of each program on your hard disk. Having more than
one copy can cause errors.
m Whenever you copy a program disk to your hard disk, be careful not to
copy a System Folder.
m If a program malfunctions consistently, try installing a fresh copy. If that
doesn’t help, find out from the software manufacturer whether your version
of the program is compatible with your computer model and your system
software.
Note: You may want to put your application programs in the Launcher. This
way they are easier to find than when they are stored in the Applications
folder on your hard disk and they can be accessed by a simple click of a
Launcher button. To put a program in the Launcher, drag the program’s icon
(or its alias) into the Launcher window or onto the Applications category
button in the Launcher. (If you need detailed instructions, see the “Tips &
Features” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide [h] menu, and
select “How do I use the Launcher?”)
