At the
bottom of the screen you will notice a long, gray bar called the
Panel. This is where applications are launched from, where you can
switch desktops and where active applications are displayed. To
launch an application you need to use the button at the far left
of the Panel with a picture of a foot. This button is called the
Main Menu Button.
When you
click on the Main Menu Button button you will be presented with
a menu that is broken up into sections. Each of these sections contains
applications that you can launch. For example, the games section
contains games such as solitaire and reversi, the Applications section
contains an organizer and text editor and so on. Clicking on one
of these icons will launch the application.
Once you
have launched an application, an icon will be created for it on
the Panel bar at the bottom of the screen (this area is called the
Pager). To switch between running applications just click the icon
of the application you need (or use ALT + Tab to switch as an alternative).
