Hi Phil, Last year when I first got the Mac, I used the help feature and did go through some of the tutorials. Some of it made sense and a lot more of it just made me feel lost. Over the last year, I confess, I reverted back to Windows since I can do things so much better and faster than on the Mac. My reason for buying the Mac Book was & still is that I expect this Windows computer to crash within a year or two. The last 2 to 3 Windows computers I have owned have all had problems that were not repairable. Out of disgust I decided I wanted to learn how to use the Mac before it becomes an emergency situation. So, a year later here I am still struggling to try and make sense of the layout and how things work. I know its ridiculous and I’m left just feeling really stupid!!
So, sorry for all my very basic questions. I will re-visit the help like you suggest. Thanks.

Press VO plus H to bring up the voiceover help system and arrow down until you see QuickStart guide. Press vo enter on that and you will be brought into the tutorial which is in the form of an HTML document segmented into chapters. When I first got my mac I read that tutorial voraciously until I understood most all there was to know about voiceover. It really is an excellent guide on how to use the Mac and if you read through it you'll be an expert in no time.
