About menus and toolboxes

Operations are grouped by type in the pull-down menus located on the menu bar and on the
toolbar. Once a tool is selected, it remains active until you select another tool. If the icon of the
tool you want is shown on the toolbar, select it by clicking once on the icon. Commands in the
menu bar must be selected each time they are used.

Descriptions of the Cabri Geometry II menus and toolboxes follow:

MENUS

Apple
(Macintosh only)

Apple menu items or the Cabri Geometry II logo screen.
