This is part of a set of finder navigation shortcuts related to the Go
menu. Command shift A takes you to the applications folder while command
shift U takes you to utilities. In a similar way D is for desktop, H is
for your home folder and since D was already taken, O is for Documents.

Hi, I'm not Sarah, but I can tell you she is talking here about Command Shift
C. This is the finder keystroke to take you directly to the computer area
where-in are mounted all of your drives and drive images.
So suppose for example that you put in a dvd full of data and now you are in
finder. To view the contents of the dvd, you press command shift C for
computer. Then tab to your dvd which will be called something different every
time. Then you press command O on it to open and view the contents.
Hope this helps,

Hi Sarah,
What is command shift c doing? Command plus c will copy, ready for pasting
later, but what is command plus shift plus c that you mentioned?

You can move it to trash but you skipped a step after you move the skype.app to
the apps folder hit cmd shift c and hit command e on the skype icon there.

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
