Hi Teresa Thanks for the information, and I'm a try to do what you said about resetting some things in Safari later. However, I discovered that Safari was downloading the file and sending it out to downloads as well as opening it. I didn't think it was saving it. So I ended up with a clean BRF f

You might be right.Now I am not so sure if it was Function Return or Option return. Function Return is the Enter key on the iMacks laptop style keyboard. And on the Mac Return and Enter are not necessarily the same from what I understand. So I apologize if I got the modifier key mixed up, I would
