<para>Many of the controls in the Front Panel start applications when you

</indexterm>Some controls are drop zones&mdash;for example, the Printer and
Trash Can controls. You can drag a file from File Manager or Application
Manager to the control.</para>
<para>Certain controls, such as the clock and busy light, are<indexterm>
<primary>indicator controls</primary></indexterm> indicators that tell you
something about the state of your system. Other controls have a dual purpose;
for example, the Calendar and Mailer controls are both indicators (showing

applications.</para>
