Working with several programs at a time

You can open as many application programs and desk accessories as your computer’s memory allows.

All open programs are listed in the Application menu at the right end of the menu bar. The name of the active program (the one you’re using right now) has a checkmark next to it, and its icon appears in the menu bar.

The Finder icon

Commands to hide or display open windows

the active program



	Finding out which programs are open
	If you have several programs and windows open, you can find out which
	program is active and which other programs are open by pulling down the
	Application menu.
	Switching programs
	You can switch to another open program or desk accessory by choosing its
	name from the Application menu.
	If a program’s icon is dimmed in the menu, that means its windows are
	hidden. Choosing the program from the Application menu displays its
	windows.

You can also switch to another program by clicking in a window that belongs to an open program, or by double-clicking a program icon (or the icon of a document that was created with the program).
