This step by step introductory guide, which is divided into a series of 58 topics that should be familiar to any user of the Macintosh, is intended to aid new users in learning the topics that they will need to know to be successful with the Macintosh. Each topic includes the following: (1) a numbered set of sequential steps to be followed, identified by "footstep" symbols; (2) pictures showing what should be displayed on the Macintosh screen each step of the way; (3) a detailed explanation of each topic; and (4) new vocabulary terms, presented in bold type the first time they are discussed, in the numbered or explanatory text. This guide, which may also be used as a reference book to help users remember the steps of a procedure that they may have forgotten, assumes that they have access to a Macintosh computer. A glossary and an index of terms are included. (ALF)
