Well, now that we have that under our belt we can turn to things more important. And for those of you who are unfamiliar with the magical combination of keys there on your keyboard let me instruct you on a few of them. They are truly dynamite. All of them use the Control key, which ought to be at the extreme ends both left and right at the bottom.

Control A: You select everything. The substitute for this is to left click your mouse and drag it, which is a pain in the neck.

Control C: Copy everything selected. (Whenever anything is selected it will turn either blue or black.

Control V: Paste what you copied into whatever other format you wish.

Control Z: Very, very handy if you are quick enough. If you make a mistake and something 'goes away' that you did not want to go way, whatever your last command was can be 'undone' by hitting Control Z as the very next command.

Well, that's enough instruction for one lesson.
