To copy, click Edit Copy or hit Apple-C. To past, click Edit Paste or hit Apple-V. You usually can also drag files from one window to another to copy or move them.

If there is a particular operation you are unable to do, just send me a pm and I will guide you through it. I used to be a Mac dummy too, but no longer.

yeah, what he said, but in other words: 'command' (the key with the apple symbol and that four petal flower symbol) and 'C'. Or you can highlight the words you wish to copy, then go to the top of the screen and click 'Edit' and choose 'copy'. Same with paste, except the keyboad shortcut is 'command' plus 'V'. If you forget which keys to use, you can go up to Edit and it tells you which ones they are.

Once you learn it, you will not miss your PC...I promise!
I am forced to use a PC at work (they switched us over a few years ago), but love coming home to my iMac.

I am running Windows within my Mac for some work-related things so I make the switch every five minutes. Man, do I wish someone would develop a good version of SAS for the Mac.

Umm, how does one copy and paste on a PC? Is it different? I once had a PC for 4 weeks, but sent the self destructing piece of bleep back to Gateway. Can't remember how it worked, except that it did it badly.

Anyway, pawesty, let me know if you need any assistance and I'll try to help. I can write a better explanation if necessary.
