The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.12/21/11

How can I select the files that I want trashed, instead of emptying the entire trashcan.

I am currently using Lion on a MacBook Pro. Crossover has been working fine, but it does admit that it will work with only a finite set of apps. Are there more apps like Crossover, that does not require me to install the whole windows operating system?
