8. When you're ready to quit, save your work and return to the Macintosh

environment.

Press Control-Command-Esc and click the Quit IIe button.

In short, you can run Apple IIe programs by double-clicking their icons.

(Remember, to see the icons you must be in the Macintosh environment, and the

program must be on a ProDOS disk. Some copy-protected programs may not work.)

Method 2: Restarting the Apple IIe Card

You can also run Apple IIe programs in any of the usual Apple IIe ways. This

exercise demonstrates one of these methods.

Before you begin: You'll need one of your own Apple IIe program disks to

complete this exercise. Also, your Macintosh should be on, you should be in

the Macintosh environment, and you should quit any programs you might be

running. Finally, if you have a floppy disk in a 5.25-inch disk drive, eject

it.

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. Open your startup disk -- the disk at the upper-right corner of your

screen -- by double-clicking its icon.

3. Double-click the icon of the IIe Startup program.

4. Find one of your original Apple IIe program disks.

If you want to use one of the Macintosh computer's built-in disk drives, the

program should be on a ProDOS disk. Some copy-protected programs won't work

correctly.

5. If there's already a disk in your disk drive (or if you have two disk

drives and both are full), press Command-Shift-1 to eject a disk.

Press all three keys at once.

6. Insert your Apple IIe program disk into the disk drive.

7. Reset the Apple IIe Card by pressing Control-Command-Reset.

Press all three keys at once. The Reset key on a typical Macintosh LC

keyboard has a triangle on it and is above the top row of keys:

Pressing these three keys resets the Apple IIe Card. When the computer

resets, the program on the disk starts.

Using the Option Panel

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.
