Essentially yes. I just didn't realize it.  The thing about the Mac is that
is determines which application "owns" the file, and since Finale made it,
it thinks Finale wants to open it. Thus, if I just try to open the MIDI
file I made, it opens in Finale, which asks me if I want to import it.
Eventually I figured out to open it in the Movie Player, which is
essentially the same as the Windows MediaPlayer.

I'm on an old Mac, so it may be even more automatic with the newer system.
Even on mine, it's not too hard to figure out. It's just that I have so
little experience with this, and since I was in a hurry, I posted to the
List before I had finished exploring everything on my own.

Thanks for the tips. I'll keep this in mind for next time.  Right now, I
don't care about a general audience, I just need to get anything that will
work for one guy on a short deadline.
