Preface

About This Book

Remote Desktop Help is available using Help Viewer. To open Remote Desktop Help,
choose Help > Remote Desktop Help. The help files contain the same information
found in this guide, and are useful when trying to accomplish a task when this guide is
unavailable.

Notation Conventions

This guide and Remote Desktop Help contain step-by-step procedures to help you use
ARD’s commands effectively. In many tasks shown in this manual and in Remote
Desktop Help, you need to choose menu commands, which look like this:

m

Choose Edit > Clear.

The first term after Choose is the name of a menu in the Remote Desktop menu bar.
The next term (or terms) are the items you choose from that menu.

Terminal Command Conventions

Commands or command parameters that you might type, along with other text that
normally appears in a Terminal window, are shown in

this

font. For example:

You can use the

doit

command to get things done.

When a command is shown on a line by itself as you might type it in a Terminal
window, it follows a dollar sign that represents the shell prompt. For example:

$ doit

To use this command, type “doit” without the dollar sign at the command prompt in a
Terminal window, then press the Return key.
