Just to add a quick bit; the .app files are actually packages or
folders with resources for the applications...

windows and those you need to execute and as part of their

Subject: Installing programs on the Mac
Hi.
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.
