Tim:

OK I admit I glossed over some information in my posting. This list  
does not like long postings so I really cut a lot of information out  
to get past the listserv evil counters.

The issue is primarily the company that I am downloading from. If you  
do your downloads at a less busy time there is no real issue  as the  
downloads startup within a second (or two) of hitting the download  
key. The problem comes in when the company is getting quite a few  
download requests the download can take up to a minute to start. That  
minute is gold for me as I can process my email in which I get  
typically 1000+ emails a day and it is almost a full time job just  
handling them. When I am waiting more than say 10 seconds I  
automatically switch over and do my email when I do that the download  
window goes into the background and is hidden from my view. Even if I  
switch back to Safari the download window stays hidden. I *think* the  
control command Option might help but today I have not gotten any  
emails with file instructions to download so it difficult to say if  
this will work. I am somewhat hesitant to say its a good until I get  
a chance to test it out. Plus since the key sequence is unnatural for  
me I will have to really think hard before I use it. I may have to  
set up a PFK key to do the sequence as my memory is not great.
