Hi Nancy, I think that you may be confusing the dmg file with what the dmg file creates upon opening. A dmg is a Disk image usually used for installers and such.
To explain in more detail, follow this example: 1. Disk Image named Installer.dmg was downloaded. 2. Open this dmg (Disk Image file) by pressing cmd-o when selected. 3. The disk image file remains in its original location but a read only copy of the Installer file is mounted to the Desktop. visually, it will kind of look like a CD icon. 4. You can open the mounted item that is on the Desktop and run whatever is inside it such as an Installer. You cannot remove anything from it though as it is read-only. 5. If you wish to get rid of the item on the Desktop, simply navigate to it, make sure it has focus then press cmd-e and it will disappear. 6. The original Installer.dmg file was not affected and you could follow the above steps anytime later as long as you don't Trash the Installer.dmg file. HTH. Later...
