Just some easy Hows and whats for macs

Hey I am wondering why the delete key doesnt delete something when i am in folder view. like if i am in applications and i want to delete something i am forced to drag it to the trash. ... and when i press return or enter it only then allows me to rename the icon when what i want to do is execute it.
thanks im a little new here...

hi kindkind...
you want the key combination "Command-Delete", not just the "Delete" key.
the Command key is immediately to the left (or right) of your spacebar. it's the one with the apple on it.
hitting this key combination moves the file or folder to the trash.
if you then hit command-shift-delete, that'll empty the trash.
just one of those slight differences between OS's that one has to get used to...
cheers
