Before you start:
You must have set up and activated a Citrix account (see instructions).
You must determine which version of OS/X you are running by going to the upper left-hand corner of your screen, highlighting the apple icon, and selecting About Your Mac.
If you are running OS/10.3, go to Remap function keys.
If you are running OS/10.2, go to 1. Create a launcher for MITSIS.
If you are running OS/10.3, you will need to remap function keys F9-F11 as follows:
1. Go to the Apple icon in the upper-left-hand corner of your screen and select System Preferences.
The System Preferences window displays.
2. Click on the Expose icon.
The Expose window displays.
3. Go to the Keyboard pane and select All Windows. While it is highlighted, press the Command key.
A list of function key mappings appears (F1-F13).
4. Press the Command key and keep it depressed.
The list of function key mappings changes so that the Command key icon (cloverleaf) appears in front of each number. When you release the Command key, the list of function key mappings appears without the Command key icon in front.
5. Keeping the Command key depressed, select F9 with the cloverleaf in front of it (cloverleaf+F9).
Cloverleaf+F9 shows as selected.
6. Repeat these steps for Application Window (select cloverleaf+F10) and Desktop (select cloverleaf+F11).
7. Go to 1. Create a launcher for MITSIS.
