it's the .app files but sometimes, there are installers too just like in windows and those you need to execute and as part of their execution, an .app gets placed in the apps folder.

I'm surprised and confused at the same time. I'm surprised how easy it is to install programs on the Mac. Just copy one file to the Aplications folder, and it works. But I don't understand how it works. Is it true it's only one file which is the program? Like the small .exe files in MS-DOS? Does that means if I want to remove a program, I just have to delete one file? Or does the programs leave some small anoying system files like Windows? I'll need to ask some more newbie questions when I got some more time to use my Mac. Best regards: Søren Jensen Mail & MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.coolfortheblind.dk
