[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1801956, member: 83420"] Hi Keith, Now you have me confused, which is not difficult these days. Reading the bit about: I assumed the meaning of C, V, X was the problem, but no, you said, you understand that fine but: That's the bit I don't quite follow. Do you mean how do you do it? Forgive if I've got that wrong as I wander into an explanation. On your Mac, normally within Documents in your Home Directory, you will have [B]Folders[/B] (contains Files, Photos, PDFs, whatever); separate [B]Files[/B] on their own which, again could be data, PDFs, even a single picture (JPEG) - and you want to: 1. Move one or more Folders or individual Files from Position A to Position B. One way is to select all the thing you want to move, Left Click and drag them from A to B. But requires a steady hand and also that A and B are both visible to you - Not always the case if A is buried within some Folder structure and B in a different Folder structure. So instead, you highlight the articles needing moving and hold down the Command Key and whilst still holding it down, Click on X. Then navigate to position B and whilst holding the Command and V keys, it pastes them to the new location. 2. Alternatively, you may want to Copy items from A to B. Select the items by highlighting them, hold down the Command key and keep doing so whilst you hold down the C key. Off you go to position B and it's Command + V together that pastes them there. I prefer this method for moving things rather than Command + X, because if I copy something from A to B, I can verify that everything is where it should be - and then go back to position A and Delete the items. Belt & Braces approach. Is that what you were after? Or have I misunderstood you? Ian [/QUOTE]
