Thanks everyone. It looks like my USB is not working properly, so I'll have to get a new one.

I keep a PC laptop just for Quicken. Is there a good similar program for iMac? Or is there a Quicken?
Carol
I would by far rather have stayed with Quicken but it took them so many months to come up with a Lion-compatible version that I just had to switch. I went to SEEFinance, and have been quite happy with it.

We just had a discussion about this.
For a full-featured version of Quicken for the Macintosh (though not as full-featured as the Windows version), there is:
Quicken Mac 2007 OS X Lion/Mt. Lion compatible
$15
http://quicken.
For a less full-featured version of Quicken for the Mac there is:
Quicken Essentials $50
http://quicken.
Reviews:

Or, if you prefer to move to a personal finance application for the Mac that is better supported, these are all popular (I've included their companion iPhone/iPad apps):
SEE Finance $30
http://scimonocesof
(I'm told that this program does a particularly good job of importing data from Quicken.)

I maintain an e-mail list of over 9,000 subscribers to my newsletter. It became too hard to send out e-mails via Apple's Mail, so I checked out all of the programs for doing a mass personalized (mail merge) mailing, and this one came out head and shoulders above the rest:

The short answer is that you can't get back to a command line prompt in the window displaying the manual. What you have to do is open a new Terminal window. You can do this from the main menu bar; Terminal->
It is usually convenient to keep the manual visible in one window whilst one is setting up the command line in the other. That way one can keep a check one has got the syntax exactly right. One has to remember that some commands (like 'rm' -- remove) can have disastrous consequences if one makes even a tiny mistake.

A good, free, safe way to learn Unix is to use:

Not true, as already said by Jon. A lower-case Q is all that you need.

There is an app in the App Store, Man Page Viewer, that is a front end to man pages. Haven't tried it myself.

Thanks, Jon. I knew to was something simple. Still, I didn't find anything about it in the Terminal and Unix documentation I have.

Use the space bar to go page by page in man, the enter key advances one
line.
When you reach the end, the letter 'q' (lower case) will quit.

You are right. For reasons unknown, it's pretty hard to find any reference
to using 'q' in this context, even in Terminal > Help. I don't even know
how I found it myself. I probably thought that 'c' (continue) or 'q' (quit)
might be worth trying. It's especially annoying because 'man' is likely to
be the first command anyone would use!

By default, man uses 'less' as its paging helper. If you look through 'man
less' you can see the available keystroke commands and how to customize it
a bit, if you so desire.

On the mac the "delete" key is the equivalent of a backspace key.
What is the new delete key? For example….on my mac I can use the delete key to erase everything to the left of the cursor. What is used to delete everything to the right of the cursor?
Thanks for the help!
