Audio CD player

Your system software provides built-in support for playing and programming
audio compact discs. To use the player, your computer must have a CD-ROM
drive attached.

To play an audio compact disc, insert a disc into the CD-ROM drive. Then
open the Apple (K) menu and select AppleCD Audio Player. The player
controls appear.

Automating system tasks

The ability to automate routine or complex tasks is built into your computer.
You can use the built-in Script Editor application program to automate tasks
in the Finder and in application programs that support AppleScript.

The Script Editor

The Script Editor is a program that lets you write “scripts” (or programs) that
automate a series of actions. Using the Script Editor’s “Watch Me” feature,
you can record actions to create a script.

To create your own scripts, use the Script Editor located in the AppleScript
folder (inside the Apple Extras folder) on your hard disk. For instructions, see
the manual located in the AppleScript folder.
