PS Some commands have short-cuts. Look under a menu and beside each
entry with a short cut you will see a clover-leaf followed by the key
to press for the short cut.
Some other noteworthy keyboard short cuts:
command-h to hide the current application.
command-option-h (depress command and option before pressing and
releasing h and release them after you release h) hides the background
applications
command-tab switches between applications (very handy... I would've
been forced to move to Windows if command-tab didn't exist because the
Dock SUCKS)
