I've messed around so much now that I forget if I used homebrew to install python3.9. Mind has poor retention these days, specially since I'm over my head in these waters anyway. Should take notes. Is there a way I can get a history of terminal commands to see what I've done? I did decide not to try homebrew to install Leo, but did it with python3.9, being sort of fed up with homebrew since it seemed to mess me up pretty good. Well, thanks much for all your help. I'll keep wrestling with it. Might be getting another used Mac given to me in a couple of weeks, so may have the opportunity to start fresh.
