Pressing Open-Apple-Control-Esc from an application brings up the Desk Accessories menu, rather than the screen you get by pressing Option-Control-Reset. (See Figure A-2.)

The Desk Accessories menu will also include an accessory called Alternate Display Mode.

By the way: Some programs don't send you to the Desk Accessories menu when you press Open-Apple-Control-Esc, so you won't be able to use desk accessories while using that application. However, you can get to the Control Panel before or after using that application by starting up with the Option key pressed down or, if the power is on, by pressing Option-Control-Reset. If it's a ProDOS-based application, have your authorized Apple dealer upgrade the application with ProDOS version 1.2 or later and you will be able to access desk accessories while using your application.

This screen is call Desk Accessories because any desk accessories installed on your disk will be listed here. (Desk accessories are miniature applications, like calculators or clocks, that you can access without leaving your main application.) To choose one of the desk accessories, press Down Arrow until the option you want is highlighted and press Return. Ask your authorized Apple dealer for information on desk accessories. Instructions for installing the desk accessories will be furnished with them. If you haven't loaded any desk accessories, the Control Panel and Alternate Display Mode will be the only options on the Desk Accessories menu besides Quit.
