Heith,
It is possible that copy will fail, one instance I know of is if you
are trying to copy something with restricted permissions or if you are
trying to copy to a folder with restricted permissions but there is a
dialog that warns you of this. In tiger, when this fails, press vo-f2
twice quickly and see if there is a dialog. Some times, all vo says
and it gets stuck on it is "dialog for" and in that case, you have to
turn of vo and turn it back on.
The other problem with copying is that you need to make sure you are
doing it correctly. There are two ways to past assuredly into the
correct folder and all things being equal, they will work. 1) make
sure you are inside the folder you want to paste into and press
command-1 and then commmand-v
2) if you are viewing in column mode, just go to the folder and not
inside it and press command-v to paste.

have a software problem? if it's of any interest I am using Tiger.
don't know if than makes a difference.
thanks to all of you for your invaluable input I now feel that after
a week of owning a Mac that I am becoming a bit more confident.
I suppose after 2 weeks I might start getting something done.
