Apple 8100/80AV manual Trying out an assignment, Editing the list of assignments

Trying out an assignment

To try out an assignment you’ve added to the PC Exchange control panel, follow these steps:

1Insert a DOS-format floppy disk and open its icon.

PC Exchange assignments take effect when you insert a floppy disk, or when you open a DOS-format floppy disk. (If the disk window was already open, you need to close it and open it again.)

2Double-click the icon of a DOS document whose filename ends with the suffix you specified.

The document is opened by the appropriate Macintosh application program. (You might see a message that the document’s file format is being converted.)

If you have problems opening documents, see “Solutions to Common Problems” in Chapter 9 of this book.
