Before we turn you loose with Model

, let’s set up your application windows and save their

settings so that if you are interrupted and restart, you will find the windows like you left them.

In this setup you will learn how to start the application, and save your window settings.

Sim

icon. The Model

Sim

application

window will come up with the Transcript window showing. Maximize the Model
