User`s manual

NOTE In this manner, you can delete a file by depositing it into the
waste basket, print a document by depositing it on top of the printer
icon, or, if you have more
than one disk drive, copy a file by depositing
its ghost icon onto the disk drive containing the destination disk. You
also
can move file icons to another disk note pad page (see 'Rearrang-
ing File Icons," page 25).
Default Files
Some files automatically are used in place of others. For example, the first
time you booted GEOS, the joystick was selected as your input device.
This is because the joystick file icon was placed ahead of the other input
device files (mouse, Koala Pad, and Inkwell light pen) on your disk.
GEOS is equipped
to handle a wide variety of printers and input devices.
However, because you
can use only one such device at a time, you will need
to configure GEOS to use the device. The procedure for doing so is simple;
all you need to do is use the select input or select printer option in the
geos menu. (The procedure for changing a printer device is covered in
Chapter
5, 'Those Extra Files.")
Installing an Input Device
The first time you boot GEOS, the joystick will be active as your input
device. If you wish to use a mouse, Koala Pad, or Inkwell light pen, you
will need to use the following procedure
to activate it for use with GEOS.
Once you have activated an input device, it will remain active (i.e., the
default file) until you change its default status again.
To select an input device as the default input device:
1: Hold down the key, and while keeping it held down, press the letter
m.
2: A message box (called a dialog box) will appear on the screen. The
dialog box will display the four input device types on the disk. You
need to select one.
