Lee, your amazing….. Tonight I’ll leave Safari the active program, most likely it will still close but all I wanted to know is WHY, what critter did I have that caused this? It doesn’t happen with Calendar, Contacts, Mail and I’ll open a few other Apple programs tonight to see if any of them quit.
I thank you again.
