Erick, try doing like I do with all other doc items. I never hit return, or
enter on them. I always vo around to the one I want then when on it, I hit
vo space. Or, if I want the contextual menu for it, I do my vo shift M.
Try that and let me know if it works.
Chris.

Subject: opening a file from the dock
Hi friends,
I'm rather proud of myself. I just put my virtual machines into the dock
with a nice little command line app I found.
So now I have windows xp professional and ubuntoo 64 bit on my dock. Now
I want to open them.
If I press vo d and arrow to one of the vm's then press enter, nothing
happens. The dock goes away leaving VO with no focus and I have to
command tab to get something to focus on.
I've discovered that I can open the menu for the vm's from the dock and
choose open and they will open.
I've also discovered that if I press command enter they will show in
finder.
I've tried pressing command O on the vm's in the dock, but nothing at all
happens.
Is there a keypress I can use to open my vm files from the dock without
having to open the menu and choose open?
Thanks,
Erik
