Switching environments with a keyboard command

You can set a keyboard command, or hot key, to switch between the Mac OS
and the PC environments. The default hot key is x-Return.

Note: If you set a new hot key, it will work in both environments, and you
can still use x-Return to switch from the PC to the Mac OS. But x-Return
will not work to switch from the Mac OS to the PC.

To set a new hot key, follow these steps:

1

In the Mac OS environment, open the PC Setup control panel.

2

Click the Hot Key text field.

3

Type the command you want to use to switch environments.

The x key is automatically included; you type the additional characters you
want. For example, you might type Option-P, setting the switch command to
x-Option-P.

Some character combinations cannot be used and will be ignored if you
type them.

Turning the PC on and off

You can use the PC Setup control panel (in the Mac OS) to start, restart, shut
down, or turn off the PC.

IMPORTANT

Be sure to properly shut down Windows 95 before shutting down

the PC or Macintosh. If you repeatedly shut down the PC without shutting
down Windows 95, you could damage information.

To start the PC if it’s shut down, click Start PC in the PC Setup control panel.

If the PC is already running, the button is labeled Restart PC.

To restart the PC, click Restart PC in the control panel.
