icons with your mouse. (Wait until the next step to try it.)

2. Use the mouse to drag the Clock icon from slot 2 to slot 4.

When you release the mouse button, the two icons switch places and both

become gray. (They become gray because the change isn't complete until you

restart the Apple IIe Card -- but don't worry about that because this is just

practice.)

3. Drag the Mouse icon back to slot 4.

The two icons switch back to their original positions.

4. Drag the Clock icon from slot 2 to any spare slot.

The icon moves.

5. Drag the icon back to slot 2.

6. Return to the Macintosh environment by clicking Quit IIe.

After you return to the Macintosh environment, you may notice that you have a

new icon:

The IIe Prefs file records the choices that you make in the Option Panel.

Managing Apple IIe Files

When you're in the Macintosh environment, you can treat Apple IIe programs

and other files as if they were ordinary Macintosh files, provided the files

are on a hard disk or a 3.5-inch disk. To copy files to or from a 5.25-inch

disk, you must use an Apple IIe copy program.

Follow the steps in this section to see how similar manipulating Apple IIe

files is to manipulating Macintosh files.

Before you begin: Make sure you're in the Macintosh environment. Quit any

programs you might be running. Also, have at hand any of your unlocked old

Apple IIe program disks. The disk must be a 3.5-inch ProDOS disk.

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. Insert a 3.5-inch ProDOS Apple IIe program disk into a built-in disk

drive.

You can use any 3.5-inch ProDOS disk so long as it isn't copy-protected.

Don't have an empty disk drive? Eject a disk by pressing

Command-Shift-1.

Even though the disk you inserted is an Apple IIe disk, it appears on the

desktop just as Macintosh disks do.

3. Open the disk by double-clicking its icon. Its window appears.
