Hi Lucian and All=2C

Thanks for the info. I'm glad I asked.  Now that leads to another question.=
  If I wanted to skip the redundant download and open the image-writer-mac =
file in Terminal from the larger download Tom G. posted (Sugar-Creation-Kit=
-ver05.iso) how would I do that?  I have copies of that download both on my=
 desktop and burned on a DVD.

Caryl

P.S. Is there a handy dandy guide to commands for the Mac Terminal anywhere=
? Sort of an "Idiot's Guide to the Mac Terminal" or "The Mac Terminal for D=
ummies?"
