Keith, that's right, left click is equivalent to a click on the
Mac, and right click is equivalent to a control click...
As for selecting files, if they're sequential, you can do the same
thing you'd do in windows; I.E. hold down the shift key while using
up / down arrows...
I'll look into selecting non-consecutive files and write back, if
no one else has done so first... K?...

OK Anne thanks a lot
Now I might just be getting it!
just a click is a left mouse and control plus mouse bar is almost
like a right click or a contextual menu. that's much easier for me
to get my head around. I am still having trouble monitoring my
download progress assuming there is any. another thing if you don't
mind is when I am looking through a list of say files for example
and I wish to trash say 5 of them. how do I highlight the five from
the list I have so that I send to trash only once.
Hope this makes sense.
OH if it's of any interest to anyone on the list, it's the consept
of using a mouse that might confuse people coming over from windows.
sorry if i'm stating the obvious.

Hello Keith,
Sorry if I've confused you but I know nothing about Windows so
right click and left click are alien concepts to me.
On the Mac, you have a straightforward mouse click and a control
click. Control click is just to get contextual menus.
Something else you should know is that closing all the windows in
an application does not quit the application. You have to either
choose quit from the menu or press Command-q.
Cheers,
Anne

Hello Keith,
To bring up a contextual menu on a link in Safari, make sure your
mouse is on the link by pressing Control-Option-Command-F5, then
hold down the Control key and click the trackpad button.
Note: Macs do not have left and right clicks. The equivalent of
left click is Control Click. It makes no difference which end of
the trackpad button you click.
Cheers,
Anne

I am using safari to navigate a page now at the bottom of
this page are around 25 ish links to download an audio file.
when using windows I would use the aplications key and save
as etc. then the download would start.
How do I do this action using safari?
I am using tiger until my leopard arrives. thanks
Keith
