Macintosh versus Windows in Java

Printer Code-39 in Java Macintosh versus Windows

Macromedia Studio is both a Windows and a Macintosh product In this book, you see us use the Windows commands, and the figures all show Windows XP If you are using Macromedia Studio on the Mac, you can still do everything in Book VII if you re using ColdFusion at your place of business or if your Internet service provider (ISP) supports ColdFusion In general, you can convert between Windows (PC) and Macintosh key commands by using the following equivalencies:

The Ctrl key on a PC is equivalent to the Command ( ) key on a Mac The Alt key on a PC is equivalent to the Option key on a Mac The Enter key on a PC is equivalent to the Return key on a Mac
