Hi Geoff: Ok, let's see if I can confuse you><grin> Oh, btw, You'll want to bring Skype to your applications folder. I was told it wouldn't install from downloads, but I think that's not written in stone.<smile> To do this, do command/shift/h to go to your home. (the picture on the screen is actually a little house with your name on it, or the name of your mac). Arrow down through choices until you find downloads. right arrow to expand (open) the folder. Arrow down to skype, do command C to copy the app, Alt tab for the finder, Open Apps, and hit commandV to paste the skype app in that folder. Then whenever you need it, you just get it from there. (Mine's set to start automatically, but I've never actually received a phone call on skype.
1. How can I ascertain the status of contacts? Contacts are in a table. You will want to set contacts to show online status, which you can do by going to preferences, (command/coma). Now when skype comes up, You can right arrow through your choices. Note: As you right arrow, you also move the cursor down-screen, which I've still not quite figured out how that works. You should right arrow until you find the table. Press VO/shift/down arrow to interact with the table. Now you have a grid of contacts, with names on the left, (if this worked right from your preference settings). Online ones at least on mine appear at the top above my address book contacts in the table 2> The paragraph above question 1 her should help Sky pe to behave properly. Once it's in your Apps folder, you should be able to access it without trouble. 3. I've heard people talk about making a test call. I've personally never found it on the Mac. HOWEVER, I'm just not a really savvy skype user. Still, I've never located it. . HTH Carolyn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
