Getting Started
With Mac OS
3
Your computer uses the Mac OS operating system, which offers a unique
combination of power and ease of use. This chapter offers very basic
instructions about how to use the built-in learning features of Mac OS. It also
explains how to shut down your computer properly.
For detailed information about the Mac OS, refer to the Mac OS manual that
came with your system.
Running the Basics tutorial
Mac OS includes a tutorial program called Mac™ OS Tutorial that shows you
how to use the fundamental features of the software. If you are brand new to
Mac OS, we suggest you complete the tutorial before you begin working with
your computer.
In Mac OS, you use the mouse for tasks such as choosing menu commands or
starting programs. When you move the mouse, the
mouse pointer (
8 ,
the small
arrow on the screen, sometimes referred to as the
cursor ) moves in the same
direction. By placing the tip of the mouse pointer over an icon and clicking
twice quickly (
double-clicking ), you can open a folder or launch a program.
