- The power of OS/2* 2.0 is waiting for your direction. Take charge, and get
- ready for new and interesting experiences.
-
- With OS/2 2.0, you can move files on your screen to a printer, to storage, even
- to a shredder. You can create an object for your screen using a pattern. You
- can customize the layout of your on-screen desktop by changing the settings of
- objects. All these topics are among those in the Start Here task list.

- To get going quickly in this exciting environment, double-click mouse button 1
- (the left button) on a topic in the Start Here list to the left. Then, using
- the mouse in the same way, select a subtopic from the list that will appear in
- this window.

- For example, you need to find out how to use a new feature, pop-up menus. They
- tell what you can do with the objects on your screen. But you have to do
- something to make pop-up menus appear. To find out what, select Doing Everyday
- Tasks from the list at left. Then select Displaying pop-up menus from the list
- that appears here.
-
- If you are moving from OS/2 1.3 or Microsoft** Windows 3.0**, select
- Adding/Using Programs and look for relevant subtopics. You might want to refer
- also to the book OS/2 2.0 Migrating to the OS/2 Workplace Shell

- principal source of information. Try the Search topics push button. More than
- 5,000 help entries are available to you.
