Communications documents
A communications document is different from other AppleWorks
documents. It conducts a communications session between your computer
and an online information service, a bulletin board, or another computer.
With a communications document, you can connect to a remote computer
and receive, send, and save data. Options are preset for most commonly used
settings, so all you usually have to do is add the telephone number.
See chapter 10, “Communications,” for more information about
communications documents.
Where to go from here
Now you’re ready to start AppleWorks and create some documents of your
own. If you haven’t looked over the section “How to start” on page 1-1, do
so now. It shows you how to use the manual and the onscreen Help system
together to find information. Then go to “Starting AppleWorks” on page 2-1.
