Hi James,

You asked:

You can force any linked file to download in Safari instead of being displayed 
(in the case of PDF files) or played (in the case of MP3 files) by having your 
mouse cursor routed to the link and issuing an Option-Click.  If you're on a 
link, use VO-Command-F5 to route your mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor, if 
you don't have the box for "Mouse cursor tracks VoiceOver cursor" checked in 
your VoiceOver Utility Navigation settings.  Then, press the option key and 
click with either the trackpad (on a laptop) or by pressing a mouse button 
(with an attached mouse).  If you have a numeric keypad with Leopard's NumPad 
Commander turned on, you can do the click by pressing the "5" key on the 
numeric keypad while pressing the option key.  If you want to force a download 
after clicking a linked mp3 or PDF file that loaded into the Safari browser, 
press Command-L to go to the Address bar, then press option followed by the 
enter (or carriage return) key.  That action effectively issues an Option-Click 
to download these linked files that loaded into the browser.

HTH

Cheers,

Esther
