Thanks. This helped. I was doing it right, apparently, all the way to leaving the scroll area and then moving to the fields. Before when I lef the scroll area I was using the down swipes on my trackpad and the tab key and completely missing the size and such I would have found with right swipes. Thanks.

First choose the number of partitions from the drop down. 1, 2 3 etc. You want 3, right? Then, interact with the scroll area, vo space on the first partition, stop interacting, and then, outside the scroll area, don't bother with the size control. Instead, simply fill in the text boxes with your desired sizes for the first partition. Then, go interact with the scroll area again, but now select the second partition in there. Stop interacting, fill in the file system, volume name and size boxes again, and then continue to partition 3. Hth, Paul.
