Just like you would on a PC except instead of the ctrl key you use the key with the apple on it. There should be two, one either side of the space bar.

dont know, may have to get a windows developer onto it

apple + x = cut
apple + c = copy
apple + v = paste
apple + z = undo
apple + p = print
apple + s = save
apple + a = select all

apple key is also known as "command"...I've pasted a load down below.

backspace also works as delete key

cntrl + mouseclick (or trackpad click) is the equivalent of a right mouse click on a pc. to bring up your drop down menus etc

go here: http://www.sigmachess.com/ for sigma chess engine (I think you get a free trial)

alt + apple followed by the on/off button is force quit if ever a programme crashes...worth writing this down as it happens so rarely that you'll never remember it!
