Hi Sarah,
Thanks for the instructions. I moved skype.app to the applications folder.
I then went into the computer list and located skype.dmg in my downloads
folder. In the file menu eject (command+e) is dimmed, though move to trash
is available. Is that what I want?

Wo! no no no! don't do that!
1. open the dmg from the downloads folder. another finder window will open.
2. press cmd 2 to get to list mode.
3. copy the skype.app.
4. press cmd shift a to get to applications and paste. Now eject the dmg
from the computer place by
1. going to the computer list with cmd shift C.
2. find the skype.dmg
3. pressing cmd E.
Take care.

Greetings,
Thanks to Sarah and Erik I'm more comfortable with the finder so I copied
the SKYPE disk image file from downloads to applications and can now open
it from there. I gather these dmg files are executable and there's no
installation process necessary after downloading?
Why was "cut" dimmed? Since I copied it to applications do I now have two
45 meg files? I see that command+delete under the file menu is also
dimmed so deleting from downloads does not appear to be an option.
TIA for any info about these files and best regards.
Geoff
