Supplemental Information

Changing the keyboard "shortcut key" that BeOS uses is very simple. People who are used to the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems will probably prefer [Ctrl] as their shortcut key, while those familiar with Apple Macintosh systems will probably prefer [Alt].

First, open the "Menu" Preferences Panel from the Be Menu.

That's it. You can close the "Menu" Preferences Panel by clicking the "Close Box" in the upper left-hand corner of the window.

You can return to the previous page by clicking the "Back" button in your web browser.
