Thank you very much. As I'm a first time Macbook user, I'm sure I will have more questions.

Hello Debbie, A DMG file is a disk image. When you get one of these, you need to open it with Cmd-o. You'll then find a file browser window. Interact with this and if it contains a PKG file, open that with Cmd-o also. If it contains an APP file, just copy it to your Applications folder. Generally, on opening a PKG, you'll be in an installer. Just follow the instructions and you'll be fine. When it asks for your username and password, these are the ones for your user on your computer, i.e. the ones you use at login. The Installer will put the application in the right place for you, so don't worry that you can't see it once the installation has finished.
