Preface
Welcome to Shake 4

Important:
Macintosh users should bear in mind that the Delete key used in Shake is
not the key located below the F12 key but, rather, the one grouped with the Help,
Home, and End keys. If you are using a smaller Macintosh keyboard without the second
Delete, use Option-Delete (again, the key below F12).
Keyboard Command Differences Between Platforms
Some keyboard commands are different between the Mac OS X platform and the Linux
or IRIX platform. In most cases in this documentation, the Macintosh keyboard
command is cited first, followed by the Linux/IRIX command.
Control vs. Command
On the Mac OS X platform, you can use the Control or Command key interchangeably.
For example, use Control-C or Command-C to copy an object.
Launching Shake in the Terminal
Mac OS X wraps up binaries and their contents into one icon in the Finder. Click the
Shake icon in Mac OS X to launch Shake, or right-click the Shake icon to obtain menu
options. For example, right-click the Shake icon and choose Show Package Contents
from the shortcut menu to open the subdirectories. Alternatively, you can use the
Terminal to navigate to shake.app/Contents/MacOS/ to find the actual binary files.
