    Hello new MorphOS user. :-) MorphOS can be very confusing because most of the available computers are Apple, which use the 1-button mouse for many years. This is complicated because MorphOS uses the right click option for everything.

    For a Mac Mini desktop computer just use any two or three button mouse.

    For a laptop, "smash" the touch pad with your fingers, and keep them on the touch pad, while clicking the mouse button.

    Mac OS has a function where if you have a 1 button mouse, you can press the command key while pressing the mouse, this displays the mouse menu. MorphOS does not have this keyboard + mouse function. There is a utility called Shift Click, which will pop up each time you open the utility. Its mascot is a dirty brown toy mouse resembling "9".

    The other menus are a hidden feature, which can be displayed by changing the settings. The clock bar on the top of the screen will never display a menu, unless you right click, or "smash" the touch pad, or "Shift Click".

    If you are looking for a "Start Menu" and "Quick Launch", there isn't any. Instead, you can create Panels (dock-things) which you can add application shortcuts.

    To shut down, use the Command key + Q and then type S. :-D

    There isn't any sleep or hibernation setting unfortunately.
    :-) I Support Quark Microkernel. :-D
