Apple Guide: Wrong Recording Sound Guide on 7500/8500 (8/95)

I have a Power Macintosh 7500 computer and I was using Apple Guide to show me how to record a sound. Several steps into the process it asks me to locate the Sound control panel. When I tell it to help me, Apple Guide reports that the Sound control panel does not exist and I should install it from my Macintosh CD. I have been unable to find the Sound control panel anywhere on the compact disc that came with my computer.
The Apple Guide file that shipped on the Power Macintosh 7500 and 8500 computers has information on how to use the Sound control panel used on earlier System 7 Macintosh computers. The Power Macintosh 7500 and 8500 computers have replaced both the Sound and Monitors control panels with the single Sound & Display control panel. You selected "How do I...record a sound" in the Macintosh Guide window.

You can access the correct Macintosh Guide instruction set by following these steps:

Step 1
------
Click on the black question mark (?) on the yellow button in upper right corner of your screen and choose Macintosh Guide.

Step 2
------
Click the Look For button in the upper right corner of the Macintosh Guide window.

Step 3
------
Type "sound" in the text entry field on the left side of the Macintosh Guide window, press return to start searching.

Step 4
------
Double-click the "How do I...install or remove an alert sound" phrase.

Macintosh Guide will now walk you through the correct procedures for using the SimpleSound application (in your Apple Menu) and the Sound & Displays control panel to work with sound on your Macintosh.
