Hello Jessi, If you find your PM 40 a bit temperamental, try reassigning the various functions. I set my PM 20 to use a press of the right whiz wheel to move right along the line, and a press of the left whiz wheel to move right. That way, its behaviour is much more stable. Cheers, Anne

Excellent, VO A is just the ticket to read the progress. I believe the download ticking is a Mac sound. I hear it on my wife's MacBook and she does not use VoiceOver. I did confirm that my box for sounds is checked in the VO utility. I'll keep hunting. Thanks for this. Brett On Jun 3, 2

Hi Louie, Try using Smultron, ( http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15114 ) Smultron has several options for doing such things, if you for example set up a search/replace command and include the spaces in the search box and the tab in the replace box, you should be done. Hope this helps!
