* For technical accuracy.


In addition to the ways System 6 allowed use of multiple applications,
System 7 provides two more methods.

To switch from one application to another:

* Click one of the application's windows. (If the application you want
is the Finder, click anywhere on the desktop.)

* Select an application from the Application menu (right end of the
menu bar).


To start additional applications:

* Drag a document icon onto the icon of the application (new feature).

* Select the application from the Apple menu (new feature).

* Double-click the application's icon (or its alias).

* Select the application and choose Open from the File menu in the Finder.
