Hey John, What I meant was in the Finder menu, click on go, then open the Applications option. When I did that, the DMG of the app was there, not the program. Of note, I did drag the program file from the folder that opened when I clicked on the DMG, not the DMG itself. I did that several times. Why that happened was confounding.
Nonetheless, your suggestion of opening a separate Finder window and copying from there worked. It DID copy and now runs without the DMG on the desktop. Thanks!
