Tip 20
Open a Link Displayed in Terminal
If you see a web or email link within a Terminal window (in a MAN page, for
example), simply hold down COMMAND and then double-click it. The link will
instantly open in your usual browser or email client, such as Safari or Mail.
For what it's worth, this will work even if you simply type an address into a
Terminal window, even if it isn't preceded with HTTP:// .

Get Back “Save As”
With Lion, many OS X apps lost the ages-old Save As option on the File menu.
After a file has been initially saved, the preferred way to save a new copy with

• Mountain Lion's Save As option doesn't work quite the same way as you
might be used to because of OS X's autosave and versions feature (see
Exploring OS X: Autosave and Versions , on page 280 ) . When you use Save
As to create a copy of an older document you've edited, a checkbox
headed Keep Changes In Original Document will appear at the bottom of
the Save As dialog box. If this is checked, when you click the Save button,
the changes you made since opening the original file will be saved to the
