Hi Doug, I know what you mean. But I wonder if the pop up box we see when sending a post is the status bar or if we were in a different window we'd see the equivalent as Safari? This is a strange one and most of my posts go through very quickly and I'm imagining that's what the status bar would

Hi Doug, vo--shift--M twice will bring up the status bar. It holds such items as your clock, battery status if you are using a mac, and for several apps such as time machine and bluetooth, hth On 15 Apr 2010, at 14:44, Doug Lawlor wrote: > Hello all: > I am relatively new to the mac and have a
