Mac Mode
To solve this, you must usc the Apple "Localizer" utility; this
utility "localizes" your System to the proper country, and gives you
the correct key map. See your local Apple dealer for the Localizer; it's
not included with System/Finder (at least not here in the US).
The Spectre has been tested for each and every key on US, UK,
French, and German keyboards; as far as we know, it handles them all,
including the pre- and -post "accent" symbols. If you can't find a key,
or are getting strange results, remember to check if your System has
been localized, and to check Key Caps to see what keys are currently
known by the system. Beware of the tricky "two Systems" bug, where
you get two Systems on two different disks in the system at once, and
where one of the System files is not localized to your country.
So, if you are having keyboard problems, use the Key Caps Desk
Accessory to find out which key is what on the Mac/ Atari keyboard.
Then use Localizer if necessary to setup for a foreign language
keyboard.
Mouse Button
This is probably going to be the shortest section in the manual.
The left-hand mouse button corresponds to the Mac's mouse
button; use it just as you mostly use it when running ST software.
There, I'll bet that was too easy to be true, right?
Versions of Spectre before 2.0 did not use the right-hand button at
all. At a user's suggestion, the right-hand button was made into a Shift
key; press it to Shift-down, release it to Shift-up. Why would you want
this? Well, in Mac mode, often you have to pick a number of items out
of list, and the most common way of doing it is to press Shift, and
while holding it down, click on each item. With the new implementation
of the right mouse button, you can do this without touching the
keyboard.
