Hi Kim
Welcome. I remember how to delete from the downloads folder now that the list
reminded me <smile>
On a completely different note, I was using my Windows PC the other day, after
not using it for a while, and found I was using VoiceOver commands with JAWS
and trying to remember how to do something on the PC. Guess I'm getting more
use to the Mac <smile>
