Choose the Control Panel option and you'll see the display shown in Figure A-3.

Alternate Display Mode: The Apple IIGS displays information differently than earlier models of the Apple II. This interferes with the display of a few applications. Choosing the Alternate Display Mode desk accessory temporarily makes the display work the old way so those applications can run. When you're finished with the application, choose the accessory again to turn off Alternate Display Mode. The Alternate Display Mode is turned off automatically when you restart the computer.
