Thank you, Ronnie, for the reassurance. I guess I will never know how it got in the dock as I have no idea what the Terminal application does.

Thank you too, Greg Manzie, for introducing us to the MUG Group.

Best wishes,
Jennifer

Hello Ronnie,

A few minutes before reading your warning about "terminal" I had seen in the dock an icon terminal unknown to me which I closed.

Am I likely to have done something drastic?

I am fairly ignorant about the technical aspects of computing (I often don't understand the questions on this forum, let alone the answers) and a relative newcomer to the wonderful world of the Mac.

It would be good to have your advice.

Thanks, Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

I don't think you have done anything drastic at all .... unless you typed anything into Terminal ;-)

The Terminal Application 'lives' in Applications > Utilities, when you open Terminal it displays in the Dock and will stay there until you Quit it or Close it, the same as any other application.

Unless you have dragged the Terminal Application into the Dock for ease of use, like I have. If you want the Terminal icon out of your Dock, just drag it off the dock and it will 'poof' and disappear.

Don't be afraid of asking questions on WAMUG, we all had to start somewhere, and Computers are an ongoing learning experience.
Enjoy the wonderful 'Mac Way Of Life'.

Cheers,
Ronni
