Hi Hank, in snow leopard, just go to the application you wish, and press command shift t, and that should add the program to the dock. When on the dock, use the context menu, vo shift m, that is, while the application in question is running, and down arrow to keep in dock. --Original Message Text--- From: hank smith Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 18:28:22 -0000 hello how does one do this?
