Subject: Selecting multiple items
Hello Keith,
To select multiple items in a list for whatever purpose:
Disable cursor tracking (control-Option-Shift-F3);
Select each item by pressing Control-Option-Command-Spacebar;
Now perform the required action. Press backspace if you want these items
to go into the Trash;
Put cursor tracking back on by pressing Control-Option-Shift-F3 again.
Cheers,
Anne

OK Anne thanks a lot
Now I might just be getting it!
just a click is a left mouse and control plus mouse bar is almost like a
right click or a contextual menu. that's much easier for me to get my
head around. I am still having trouble monitoring my download progress
assuming there is any. another thing if you don't mind is when I am
looking through a list of say files for example and I wish to trash say
5 of them. how do I highlight the five from the list I have so that I
send to trash only once.
Hope this makes sense.
OH if it's of any interest to anyone on the list, it's the consept of
using a mouse that might confuse people coming over from windows. sorry
if i'm stating the obvious.

Hello Keith,
Sorry if I've confused you but I know nothing about Windows so right
click and left click are alien concepts to me.
On the Mac, you have a straightforward mouse click and a control
click. Control click is just to get contextual menus.
Something else you should know is that closing all the windows in an
application does not quit the application. You have to either choose
quit from the menu or press Command-q.
Cheers,
Anne

Hello Keith,
To bring up a contextual menu on a link in Safari, make sure your
mouse is on the link by pressing Control-Option-Command-F5, then
hold down the Control key and click the trackpad button.
Note: Macs do not have left and right clicks. The equivalent of left
click is Control Click. It makes no difference which end of the
trackpad button you click.
Cheers,
Anne

OK sorry but I still don't understand!
I am using safari to navigate a page now at the bottom of this
page are around 25 ish links to download an audio file. when
using windows I would use the aplications key and save as etc.
then the download would start.
How do I do this action using safari?
I am using tiger until my leopard arrives. thanks
Keith
