Apple Macintosh System 7.5 - Manual (Page 52)

Do desk accessories work with System 7.5?
Yes. Desk accessories continue to work, but they are no longer the only items
that appear in the Apple (K) menu. Any item that you drag into the folder
named Apple Menu Items will appear in the Apple (K) menu and will open
when chosen from that menu.
The “suitcase” files containing desk accessories (which were previously
installed with Font/DA Mover) can now be simply dragged onto the System
Folder icon; their contents are automatically placed in the Apple Menu Items
folder.
You can also use a desk accessory by opening the suitcase, dragging the desk
accessory out, and double-clicking its icon.
Can I continue to use MacroMaker macros that I created in System 6?
No. MacroMaker cannot be used with System 7.5. You can use AppleScript
and Script Editor to create similar scripts for System 7.5. (See Chapter 6 of
the Macintosh System 7.5 Upgrade Guide for more information about creating
scripts.)
Can I reinstall System 6 on a Macintosh or PowerBook that has been upgraded to
System 7.5?
If a user must revert to System 6 for any reason, a temporary solution is to
attach an external disk on which System 6 is installed and use this as the
startup disk until System 6 is no longer needed.
If the Macintosh or PowerBook must revert completely to System 6, you
must first throw away the System 7.5 System Folder. (If the System Folder
contains any fonts or extensions you want to save, copy them before you
delete it.) Then reinstall the system software from your original System 6
installation disks.
It appears that MultiFinder is always on under System 7.5. Can I turn it off?
No. System 7.5 incorporates the capabilities that were previously provided by
MultiFinder. You can always open more than one application program at a
time. You can use the General Controls panel to hide the desktop when using
a program other than the Finder. (See Chapter 6 of the Macintosh System 7.5
Upgrade Guide for more information about features of the General Controls
panel.)
