Read this chapter for information on
installing and working with application
programs on your computer.
Installing application programs
Your computer has several application programs already installed, as well as
some programs that need to be installed before you can use them. The
programs that come with your computer include
m AppleScript, which allows you to automate any actions you perform
repeatedly on your Macintosh
m PlainTalk,which enables you to use spoken commands with your
Macintosh
m PowerTalk, which provides built-in mail and collaboration services
m QuickDraw GX, which gives your computer more powerful printing
capabilities
You’ll find these programs in the Apple Extras folder on your hard disk. To
find out if a program needs to be installed, look inside the program’s folder
for an icon labeled Installer. If you find an Installer icon and want to use that
program, double-click the Installer and follow the instructions on the screen.
One program that comes with your computer, Video Monitor, is for use with
computers that have AV capabilities. If you have an AV-equipped Power
Macintosh computer, see the “Video” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in
the Guide (
h) menu, for information on using Video Monitor.
