Hi Chris!

I upgraded Audacity myself this morning, and here is a short explanation:
I don't know how long time you've used the Mac, so if you're unsure of anything 
I mention here, please let me know.
First of all, when you open a diskimage you'll notice Voiceover says: Image 
browser. I recommend you change this to either collum or listview, by hitting 
command-3 or 2 for either mode.
Now you can arrow up or down to see what's inside the image.
The "applications"-alias is a shortcut that often is placed inside diskimages, 
so the user can drag and drop things from the image directly inside the 
applications folder.
Instead, I do recommend you do the following:
1. In this case find the "Audacity"-folder and press command-c to copy it.
2. Press Command-shift-A to go to your applications-folder.
3. Press command-v to paste the audacity-folder we just copied into your 
applications-folder.
4. Press command-shift-C to go back to your computers' list of mounted disks 
and drives and here find the audacity diskimage.
5. Press command-e to eject the image.

Hope this helps.

Best regards
Thomas
