Hi, Items downloaded via Safari and other browsers normally are directed to the Downloads folder in your Home Directory unless you tell the app otherwise. Items downloaded through the App Store are normally placed directly into the Applications folder.
When on the Desktop, in the Finder or Open or Save dialogs, cmd-shift-a will take you to the Applications folder. The quickest method to put something onto the Dock is to select the Application, then press cmd-shift-t. You can also get Apps to remain on the Dock if the app is open, finding its item on the Dock, then opening its Contextual menu, going to Options and choosing Keep in Dock. To remove apps, simply locate them in the Finder and then press cmd-delete. This will put the Application package into the Trash. You can choose to Empty the Trash right after if you like by pressing cmd-shift-delete. You can get Spotlight searches by pressing cmd-f or by pressing VO-m-m-m, that is the letter "m" three times. Depending on what you enter into the search criteria, you may end up with quite a few matches to your inquiry but you can scroll through the list of matches then Interact with the Path List to determine the location of the matched item. You can also just open the desired item from the list of matches. HTH. Later...
