-
- The GEM DESKTOP only appears when Edith is used as an
- application under a single tasking Operating System.
-
- It shows an Edith logo, has a menu bar and a set of
- function keys. Clicking on the function keys on the
- desktop is the same as pressing the keys themselves.
- Move the function key box around by clicking the left
- mouse button on the pads left of F1 and right of F10,
- holding the mouse, and dragging the box along. It will
- move immediately as you move the mouse.

-

- e.g. Gemini users. However, this does not work with
- memory protection.
