Running Applications from Drop Zones on the Front Panel

Certain controls on the Front Panel—such as the Printer, Mailer and Web Browser controls—act as drop zones (see Front Panel Drop Zones) that activate the relevant application when you drag and drop appropriate text or files on them. For example, if you drop a file on the Mailer control, Mailer displays a New Message window with the file attached to the new message.

For instructions on drop zones, see Front Panel Drop Zones and Tour of the Front Panel.
