Hi Keith,
Yup, that's the way all my settings are! I will try launching Safari from
within finder and will hide the toolbar and see if that helps!
I do like the new way that Lion handles saving files, i.e. automatically saving
files and the feature to duplicate a file if you wish to change the file name.
Pretty cool! Just a few bugs to iron in.
Thanks,
Russell
