Using multiple desktops
You can set up multiple workspaces for yourself by creating
different desktops. This will allow you to organize the tools
and documents you need for different tasks. For example,
if you spend part of your time writing contracts and the rest of
your day responding to and sending mail, you can set up a separate desktop
for each task. Your desktop for your mail tasks can contain Mail
and your mail folders; the other desktop can have Edit and
the directories with your contract files.
To create a new desktop, select New Desktop from the Desktop
File menu.
Enter a name for this desktop in the dialog box field. For example,
you could call this desktop: Contracts. After you click on
OK, the icon for the Contracts desktop appears on
the Desktop, and the
Contracts desktop window opens.
To save a copy of an existing desktop,
select Save As from the Desktop File menu. Enter
a unique name for your copy of the desired desktop, such as
Contracts.backup.
After you click on OK, the Contracts.backup
desktop is saved in your home directory.
NOTE:
The Desktop also provides several desktops for special tasks, such as
the Trash desktop.
The Trash desktop contains discarded files and
directories, which remain in that desktop until you
empty the Trash or recover the icons. For information
on using the Trash desktop, see
``Deleting and recovering files and directories''.
