Your instructions for creating the new kind of tabs that stay up on the bar uses the term "control click". I do not know what this term means for me to do. I have a Mac and thus no right click function. Does "control click" mean to hold down the "control" button and then click?

Correct. Control Click (or Ctrl-Click) means to hold down the Control key on your keyboard while clicking. On MacOS X this is equivalent to clicking the right mouse button (without pressing Control) if you have a 2 or 3 button mouse such as I do.

Thanks, Freiheitner. Very helpful and sure it will be for the 2 others who have same problem. (No mouse, just track pad.)
