3- Overview

About this guide


We expect you to be familiar with computer and system installing, as well as with printer installing. Consult the guides to familiarize yourself with the techniques used in a Macintosh environment ( mouse use, floppy disks, etc. ) or see your dealer.

Text in italic form refers to additional information that is important.

Following is an overview of Learn and Play to help you see its simple structure.

Starting


After launching Learn and Play , the main window shows up.

Here, one can choose which section to follow : Education, Skills or Games . Within each section, one can find the modules.

To choose a section, simply click with the pointer of the mouse on the corresponding button. For example, to go to the Education section, click as shown below.

To quit Learn and Play , click on the button "Quit".

You can also quit by selecting it from the "File" menu in the menu bar at the top of the screen, or by hitting simultaneously the command key and the "q" key from the keyboard.

However, if you're working in a multi-user context ( see the "Preferences..." section ), the name of the button will be changed to " Leave". After clicking on it, you will have to click on "Quit" in the window that shows up.

Of course, you may have access, depending on where you are in the application, to the usual menu bar, at the top of the screen, enabling you to quit, save, change the preferences, etc. as one usually finds in Macintosh based software.

In this scrolling menu, Learn and Play allows you to save, to quit and to have access to the preferences. The "Preferences..." menu is described in detail further in this guide.

Note: There is an on-line help available everywhere in Learn and Play , except when you're in the "Preferences..." section. This help gives the user a simple description of how to use the module or window. To get this help, go in the apple menu at the top of the screen (). ( You can also hit the command key and the h key simultaneously on the keyboard).
