Start an Application
To perform tasks of any kind in OS X, you use one of the applications installed on your Mac
Pro. The application you use depends on the task you want to perform. For example, if you
want to surf the World Wide Web, you use a web browser application, such as the Safari pro-
gram that comes with Mac Pro. Before you can use an application, however, you must first
tell Mac Pro which application you want to run. Mac Pro launches the application and dis-
plays it on the desktop. You can then use the application's tools to perform your tasks.

Note:
If the application that you want to start has an icon in the Dock, you can click the
