Chris - Thanks for these helpful messages/encouraging messages. What I would
say from what I have found, is that in most cases ]I think text editing
might be an exception] but the instruction command X to cut doesn't actually
work. Apple prefer to use the term 'move' rather than cut, so to move an
item you have to start by using command C for copy, and then when pasting
with command V, hold down the options key at the same time, and that will
effectively cut/move the item from where it was to where you wish it to be.
Hope that helps somebody -
Andy

OK Carol, that's no problem. There are several ways that you can deal
with this.
First of all, I remember that you came from a Windows background
originally. Remember in Windows how you could do alt+tab to move between
applications? Well, it's the exact, same principle here. If you hit
command+Tab, that will cycle you between opened programs just like alt+tab
did in Windows. So, what you can do, is command tab and make sure that the
only thing opened is the Finder. When you hit command+tab, remember, your
command key is the key right to the left and right of your space bar. You
can use either of them in combination with the tab key. Just hold down
your command key, then start pressing the tab key, while leaving your
command key held down. When you hear the name of an application you want
to move focus to, release your command key. Once you're in the
application, just press command+Q to quit the application. When I say
application, I'm just meaning a program. Same thing interchangeably.
Application, program, same thing. The Mac is gonna call it more
application, but just so not to confuse you further, they're both the same
lingo, no difference at all.
A good way for you, Carol, to remember command+Q to quit is just think the
mneumonic, q is for quit. So q is for quit, c is for copy, p is for
print, cut and paste are the same as they were in windows, with the
exception you use the command key instead of the ctrl key. So, command+x
is cut, command+v is paste, and command+z/zed call it as you will, is
undo. Command+C is copy, and command+A is select all.
I really hope that this helps you out, but if you need anything better
explained, please let me know, and I'll try to think of another way to
reword things more simply.
Chris.

Thanks and I'll keep this information safe.
Last night, the Mac told me that it could not close down because
something Was still working in finder. It suggested I should stop
applications etc, but I haven't a clue where to go!
I finally had to give in and reluctantly do a force quit!
If you can tell me how to deal more gently and effectively with this
problem in the future, that would be most useful, thanks!

Hello Andy and Carol,
I really don't have this problem with Mail and I receive hundreds of
messages every day. However, I have some suggestions.
Whenever applications are behaving unreasonably, I find it useful to
repair permissions. You do this by opening the Utilities folder
(Cmd-Shift-u) and opening Disk Utility.
In Disk Utility, there is a table with which you interact to find your
internal hard drive. It's usually the second item in the table and is
often called Macintosh HD. Select it and stop interacting. Then navigate
twice right and check that First Aid is selected.
Navigate down from there to the button Repair Disk Permissions and click
it.
You can follow the progress of the permissions repair by navigating up
to Results and interacting with that table.
When the repair is complete, the bottom line will say as much and you
can quit the Utility.
Cheers,
Anne

Hi Carol - I'm actually finding mail a bit of a pain, just when I think
I can navigate it ok, the appearance changes, or Having interacted with
a message, when I stop, I am thrown out in to somewhere I didn't expect
to be, and can't get back to my messages without some fiddling about.
I've searched around for help, and have heard a couple of Pods
referring to mail, but nothing really that has given an in-depth
explanation of how it works, and how to best set it up. I'm a bit like
this in Safari or Chrome, I think I've grasped navigating etc, only to
encounter something that throws me, and then frustrates me too! -

Andy,
I have been having similar problems.
One thing that sometimes seems to help me is, instead of stopping
reacting in messages, to cycle between the reading of headers or
messages, and I think this is the third one that sometimes comes up,
but I can't remember offhand what it is.
We both are getting there slowly! I think there may be a keystroke
we're both missing, so I hope somebody will chime in here!

Hi all -
A lot of the time, when I stop interacting with messages table in
mail, VO says "busy." The only way I can get out of this is by
quitting the app, and reopening it. Do others have this issue? Can
anything be done about it? -
