Opening an Application
To open an application, or software program, you need to find its icon or file name on your hard disk. Application icons, as noted in Chapter 7, typically look “fancier” than most other kinds of files.
If an application’s icon is in the Dock, single-click on it.
These examples use AppleWorks, which might or might not be on your Mac. You can follow along with TextEdit, found in the Applications folder.
If an application’s name, icon, or alias is in a Finder window or sitting on the Desktop, double-click on it.
