By the way: Your settings are saved permanently—you don't have to set them each time you turn on the power. Buy you can change them as often as you want by using the Control Panel Program.

Learn to use the Control Panel Program by setting the Apple IIGS's built-in clock and calendar. Once you've set the battery-operated clock, you won't have to set it again. The battery lasts between five and ten years.

1. Turn on the Apple IIGS power switch and press Option-Control Reset. Then type 1 to enter the Control Panel Program. You'll see the Control Panel menu shown in Figure 1-10. (You'll learn about other ways to get to the Control Panel Program in Appendix A.)

A menu is a list of choices.
