For example, Mac OS X stores most utilities, such as Terminal, in the Utilities folder.

Path syntax: This book occasionally uses a path to show the location of a file or folder in your file system.

For example, in the program Disk Utility, you would choose Disk Utility > Preferences. Don’t confuse an application’s preferences with the system-wide settings found in System Preferences.

Finding an application’s preferences: I often refer to preferences in an application that you may want to adjust.

I refer to these panes using an abbreviated notation such as “the Network preference pane.” When the System Preferences window opens, click the icon of the pane whose settings you want to adjust. To open System Preferences, click its icon in the Dock or choose Apple  > System Preferences.

Finding System Preferences: I sometimes refer to settings in System Preferences that you may want to adjust.

The default behavior, the alternative methods, and the ways to set them vary depending on the type of input device the typical alternative (for right-handed users) is to right-click with a mouse-click the righthand mouse button-so that’s the term this book uses by default for the action that opens a contextual menu. Controlclicking nearly always works to open a contextual menu, but your mouse or trackpad might support a better method.

For example, if you Control-click a file in the Finder, you’ll see commands such as Get Info, Duplicate, and Make Alias.

Contextual menus: In Mac OS X, when you hold down the Control key and click, a pop-up contextual menu appears, with commands appropriate to whatever is under the mouse pointer.

For example, to create a new folder in the Finder, you choose New Folder from the File menu I abbreviate this as “File > New Folder.”

Menus: Where I describe choosing a command from a menu in the menu bar, I use a compact description.
