Mac, when I go to download DELINDEX, the instructions say, "If the 'Save in' box
doesn't say (C:), click on the folder icon with the up arrow on it (next to the box)
until (C:) appears in the box." I don't seem to have any such folder icon with an
up arrow on it; just to the right of the box are three icons, one of which is greyed
out; the next is a folder which seems to create a new folder, and the third is a
View Menu icon.
How do I get the proper destination in the "Save in" box? ( It currently says "Desktop.)
Thanks
