I finally found a text editor (TextWrangler) that works well for the sort
of text I usually deal with.  I would also like to be able to invoke it
from the command line, but so far haven't been able to figure out how
(I'm new to the Mac).

Downloaded and installed FrostWire (the Get Info for the app doesn't report a

click on it, nothing happens.
I downloaded the archive a second time and after spitting out the

downloading I found that I had to reformat my Gen 1 512 Mb Shuffle.
No big deal but I do have my shuffle divided into a data and music

I'm looking for an *easy to use* web-downloader.
I've tried several, but found "Sitesucker" (http://www.sitesucker.us/

I just moved from more than 10 years of linux to mac OSX 10.4, and I
