Hi Barb,

you can get to the bottom of the log by interacting with it and pressing 
control-option-shift-right arrow.

Since there was so much to fix, it is recommend you run repair permissions a 
second time to be sure it’s done a thorough job.  you will almost always find 
items in the log but running it on a regular basis and after substantial work 
with the finder such as deleting items and upgrades to the os or updates to the 
updates is also advisable.

To refresh, permission repair should be run from the recovery console, to enter 
it, restart the computer while pressing and holding command-r.  Wait for the 
boot a few seconds to a minute, then press command-f5 so fred can help you.  
You’ll want to down arrow to disc utility, press tab and press space on 
continue.  select the disk with your name on it such as barb’s hd or macintosh 
hd if you haven’t named it anything.

tab to first aid, press space.  tab to repair permissions and press space.  you 
may need to deviate from these instructions a bit by using vo instead of tab 
but it’s fairly easy to do.  once you’ve started the permission repair, you 
will find the output and you will also find a progress bar for percentage and 
time to completion I think.
