Good description Ray! Would like to add that the Dock is spelled dock and not
doc, even though to VoiceOver it sounds the same.
I'll also further add a little history of how it came to be for the fun of it.
The dock was created in Next OS (Steve Jobs' *other* os), so that people could
have a place to anchor commonly used applications, folders, and files to a
specific area of the desktop. When Steve Jobs came back to Apple, the dock
came with him.
