comfortable editing those kindof files, I do it all the time in other
applications. That would help me get going.

John, I suggest you make a test recording and play with the
features/commands Thomas and I have mentioned. Regarding what
you describe as the two functions of the arrow keys, it is not so
strange once you have done a bit of experimenting. Clearly,
pressing left or right arrow key can only clear a selection if a
selection has been made. While you cannot imagine when you would
do that, I both do it a lot and find it most useful. If - say -
you have selected a section of audio and have added an effect to
it you may want to listen to it several times. Once satisfied,
press right arrow and then pressing either spacebar or shift-a
will start playing from the end of what was selected.
Regarding keyboard commands, the news is not ideal. You get to
keyboard commands through Preferences. Unfortunately, the
assigned keyboard commands are not accessible through
VoiceOver. You can export the current assignments to an xml file
and, if desired, edit and import. Having learned much through
going through the key assignments on Windows machines, this is a
pain.
Anyway, have a play and discover the idiosyncrasies and, as
Thomas said, the benefits of Audacity.
I will be away for several days, so will be silent here until the
middle of next week.
Andrew
