Apple Macintosh LC - Manual (Page 49)

Click its close box or choose Close from the File menu.
Remember that when you close the TeachText document you are not quitting the
TeachText application. You still have the TeachText menus available to use.
Now you're ready to open your Friday Ad.
The following diagram maps the locations of the folders and documents on the
System Startup disk. Use it (and the smaller diagrams that follow) to track
your place as you move through the hierarchy of folders in the following
steps.
4. Choose Open from the File menu.
TeachText responds by showing you a list of the icons on your desktop that
you can open. This directory list works like directory windows on your
desktop. It lists the names of the icons on your disk that are available to
be opened, but (like the desktop) it doesn't show the names of icons that are
inside folders.
Notice that your letter icons are no longer visible. That is because you have
moved them into a folder. Before you can open your Friday Ad, you'll need to
open the folder that contains it.
Notice also that the Letters folder is already highlighted for you. (The top
item in the list is always highlighted whenever you open the list.)
5. Click the Open button.
The list changes. It no longer shows the list of icons in the System Startup
directory window. Because you opened the Letters folder, it now shows you the
items in that folder.
You know that you put the Friday Ad inside the Unsent Letters folder, so open
that folder to see your Friday Ad listed.
6. Click anywhere on the Unsent Letters line and then click the Open button.
The list changes to show you the contents of the Unsent Letters folder --
namely the Friday Ad document.
Now that you have opened the Unsent Letters folder, you can open your Friday
Ad document. Again, notice that it is already highlighted for you.
7. Click the Open button.
Your Friday Ad document opens.

Moving down in the hierarchy
When you use a file cabinet you can open folders inside folders to get to a
document several folders deep. You can also open folders inside folders when
you are working in an application program like TeachText.
When you first chose the Open command, TeachText showed you the top level of
the organization (the folders and files not buried in any other folders).
