- YOUR QUICK GUIDE
- TO DESKTOP ACCESSORIES
-
- Unlike standard .PRG or .TOS files,
- Desktop accessories (recognisable by
- their .ACC extensions) can't be
- executed by double clicking on them.
- Instead GEM must be given instructions
- to load them at start up.
-
- Accessory files must be present in the
- root or main directory so that GEM can
- find them. Once installed, an accessory
- is run by pulling down the Desk menu
- and clicking on the accessory's name.
- Up to six accessories can be held in
- memory at once - but they take up
- memory all the time the ST is running,
- so only install those you really
- need to.
-
- Make sure all accessories you want to
- install are in the root directory of a
- disk. Hit the reset button once you've
- got them in that situation; this
- forces them to automatically load into
- the ST's memory.
-
- To use the desk accessories (files
- with a .ACC extension) on this
- disk, copy the ones you
- want onto a blank disk. You can have
- up to six at once. Insert the disk
- containing the accessories in the root
- directory into your internal drive and
- switch on your ST. The accessories
- will load automatically. They will be
- available for use until you reset the
- ST. Simply move the pointer to
- DESK and click on the name of the
- accessory you wish to use.
