Apple Macintosh LC - Manual (Page 51)

The contents of the Sent Letters folder appear in the list.
6. Click Wednesday Ad, and then click the Open button.
Your Wednesday Ad appears on the screen.
What's Going on Here?
Moving up in the hierarchy
You saw earlier that you can move down in the organization of your folders by
clicking a folder's name and clicking the Open button. Now you have also seen
that you can go back up in the organization (to the folders that contain the
folder you're currently viewing) by choosing a folder or disk name from the
pop-up menu above the list.
Working with the levels of folders in the directory dialog box is difficult
to visualize. The basic idea is this: to go deeper, click an item and then
click open. To go back up, choose an item from the pop-up menu.
You look over the Wednesday Ad and decide you're satisfied with it. It's time
to quit working in TeachText for a while.
7. Choose Quit from the File menu.
The Wednesday Ad document closes, you leave TeachText, and the Finder desktop
and menus appear again.
Removing items from your disks
You have practiced creating folders and organizing icons in folders. And
you've practiced getting to documents that are stored a couple of folders
deep.
There is one more skill that you will need to keep your desktop organized:
discarding an icon you no longer need.
You remember that you still have the old document Camping Ad on your Startup
Disk, and you decide that you no longer need it. Follow these steps to remove
the Camping Ad document from your disk.
1. If it's not already open, open the System Startup disk icon.
The System Startup window opens. Before you can discard an icon, you need to
open the disk and folders it's in.
2. If the System Startup window is covering the Trash icon in the lower-
right corner of your screen, move the window so that the Trash is visible.
To move the window, place the pointer in the window's title bar (the stripes
at the top of the window), and drag the window.
3. Open the Letters folder.
The Letters folder window opens. You see three items -- the Sent Letters
folder, the Unsent Letters folder, and the Camping Ad. Now you can discard
the Camping Ad.
