Thank you very much, Carolyn! This helps me tremendously. I would have just assumed that once the application had been downloaded, I could have looked in my ap folder for it. It is great to know to look for it in downloads folder. I was just looking in my downloads folder earlier today wondering what are these things? I don't even know what three fourths of those files are. :)
Again, thank you, Carolyn. Every bit helps me.
