Starting Medical Objects Explorer
- Open Crossover. From the top window menu choose Programs > Medical Objects
- When the installation is completed a folder is created for the shortcut to start the program and opened in a new finder window. Take note of the window's location (Generally in Places > Admin >........." in the Finder) and the shortcut can be used from there or moved to a more convenient location.
