5) To save or print the session from your program you can pull down the
Filemenu Saveitem or the Printitem as you like.
6) Your program has been linked to a simple application frameword that
gives you a proper Macintosh window for its terminal. Just closing this
window does notquit the program. You must use the Filemenu choice
Quitor type Cmd-Qin order to quit the program. If you go back to MPW
leaving your program active you will be unable to re-link if you make
changes without returning and quitting properly.
• Demonstrate the running application to your T.A. before leaving the lab.
• If you want to save the junk you have left on the worksheet, do so on
some file on your own disk. Now delete it from the copy in memory before
selecting "Quit" from the file menu.
• Ordinarily, you will not shut the computer down when you are finished
with it; just leave it running for the next person
•Take a rest for a day or two, but come back again this week and do Part
II to continue your orientation. You need to get going on your first
assignment as it will be due next week.

Part II Macintosh MPW menu Reference
The Macintosh tries to allow users the most control possible by
presenting them with menus from which to choose commands. Menu options
that cannot be chosen at the moment appear in gray, i.e. they are “dimmed.”
Here are brief descriptions of each of the menu options that can be chosen
from within MPW. For more complete information, read what's in the big
reference binder. Spend some time experimenting with these commands until
you are familiar with what most of them do.

Apple Menu
About MPW…
Puts up a dialog box indicating what version of MPW you are using.
{List of Desk Accessories}
Feel free to experiment with the various desk accessories. (Please don't
disturb the Control Panel settings.) The only DA you will likely need to use is
the Chooser, which lets you select what printer you are connected to. For
students taking this course, printing on the lab printers is free (included in
lab fee.)
File Menu
New…
Use this to start a new file. You will be asked to name it and to specify
where on your disk it should go (if you have folders.)
Open…
Use this to open a file that already exists on your disk.
Open Selection
This is a shortcut to open a file. If the name of the file you want to open
(in the default directory) appears in a window, select the name and this menu
option will change so that you can open that file instantly.
Close
This is equivalent to clicking in the close box of the active window. If you
have made changes since the file was last saved, you will be asked if you want
to save them. The Worksheet window cannot be closed — it is automatically
saved when you quit MPW.
Save
This command saves the active window, replacing the file on disk with
what's in memory. Remember to save all your files often, as power disruptions

have been known to occur without warning… DO NOT SAVE TO THE
INTERNAL HARD DRIVE. If you do, the files will be deleted.
Save As…
This command allows you to save the active window on disk under a new
name, so that the previous copy is not erased. The window's name is changed
to the new name.
Save A Copy…
This is similar to Save As…, except that the window's name isn't
changed, so that you can continue to edit the original document.
Revert to Saved
If you make changes to a file that you decide aren't a good idea, you can
discard them and go back to the last saved version.
Page Setup…
Before printing you should select this option. Since print quality doesn't
really matter in this course, you should select “Draft” quality for fastest
results.
Print Selection or Print Window
If nothing is selected, this will print out the active window. Or, you can
select only a portion of the window for printing.
Quit
No matter how much you love working in the computer lab, you'll have to
select this option sometime. It closes up MPW returns you to the Finder,
where you can easily see what's on what disks. Please leave the machine
running when you are completely done. When you do quit, please leave the
worksheet in the condition you found it.
Delete
This is for deleting files from your disk. Please do not delete files from the
hard drive.
List Current Directory
This choice prints a list of the current default directory on the currently
selected window. (Works best if it is the worksheet.) Select Undo to erase the
list from the window.
Edit Menu
Undo
Many mistakes can be corrected by selecting this option. Selecting
“Undo” again will “Redo” what was undone.
Cut
Deletes the current selection (whatever is highlighted) and places it on
the clipboard, so that it can be pasted in somewhere else.
Copy
Copies the current selection onto the clipboard (a specially set aside
section of memory) for later pasting.
Paste
Replaces the current selection with the contents of the clipboard. (If
nothing is selected, the contents of the clipboard are inserted at the current
position of the blinking insertion point.) The clipboard is not modified, so that
repeated “Pasting” will result in multiple copies.
Clear
Deletes the current selection.
Select All
Selects the entire contents of the active window.
Show Clipboard
Brings up another window containing the contents of the clipboard. This
window cannot be edited. This option changes to “Hide Clipboard” when

appropriate.
Format…
Brings up a dialog box where you can select the window's formatting. For
example, you can select a larger font size if you find the default is too small.
Monaco and Courier are the recommended fonts, as they make it easier to
line things up.
Align
This command rearranges the lines currently selected so that they are all
indented the same amount as the first selected line.
Shift Left & Shift Right
The currently selected range of lines will have their indentation changed
by one tab width. If nothing is selected, the line with the insertion point will
be moved. Useful if you decide to add a level of indentation.
Find Menu
Find…
Allows you to quickly find a word anywhere after the insertion point in
the active window. Most options are self explanatory, but the “Selection
Expression” option is really only for advanced users. If the word you are
looking for cannot be found, the Mac will beep.
Find Same
Finds the next occurrence of the word you most recently tried to find.
Find Selection
Finds the next occurrence of the current selection. Thus, if the word you
want to find is already on the screen, just select it and use this option to find
the next occurrence of the word (or phrase) in your file.
Display Selection
If you have scrolled away from the location of the current selection, this
command will move it back into view.
Replace…
Finds the next occurrence of a word you specify, and replaces it with
another word you specify. You may choose to replace all subsequent
occurrences of the original word.
Replace Same
Repeats your previous selection of “Replace.”
Top and Bottom
Selects the beginning and the end of the window respectively.
Mark Menu
Mark
Places a mark at the current location or selection. You will be asked for a
name for the mark, which is entered in the list.
UnMark
Puts up a menu of themarked items for you to remove a mark.
{list of marks}
Choosing one of these will jump the insertion point to the chosen mark.
Window Menu
Tile Windows
Arranges the window on the desktop so that no windows are overlapping.
Stack Windows
Arranges the window on the desktop so that the windows are as large as
possible while still allowing some of each window to be seen.
{List of Windows}
Selecting a window brings that window to the top. The active window has
a checkmark, and the target window has a bullet. (If you don't know what the
target window is, don't worry.) Any windows that have unsaved changes have
