To change one of the settings:

  1. Press Up Arrow or Down Arrow to highlight the setting you want to change.
     
  2. Press Right Arrow or Left Arrow until you see the want. (The original settings are marked with a check in case you want to put things back the way you found them.)
     
  3. Press Return to save the setting (or Esc if you decide you don't want to change the setting after all). You'll return to the Main Menu.
     
  4. Choose Quit. If you got to the Control Panel by pressing Open-Apple-Control-Esc from an application, you'll return to that application. If you got to the Control Panel by pressing Option-Control-Reset, the computer will start up the application in your startup drive.

If you need more specific instructions, go through the example in Chapter 1 that shows you how to use the Control Panel Program to set the Apple IIGS's built-in clock.

Figure A-5 gives you an overview of the system characteristics you can change and what you can change them to.
