Harry:
Why save the file to the downloads folder when you can copy it to your Documents folder. In fact, the big advantage with having these files in the Documents folder is that if a System Restore is needed, the files in the Documents folder won't be touched during the restoration process.
However, if you (or your friend) insist on saving the files to his Downloads folder (you can copy them to there as well), you might try, once your in his email, placing the system cursor on the file name then pressing the second key to the right of the spacebar (on a desktop computer) and then using the arrow keys to see if saving the file is an option from there.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [VICUG-L] how to save a file to the downloads folder
Hi all,
I'm writing on behalf of Lowell, a blind man in Ohio, and here's his problem.
He uses windows 10, Jaws, and windows mail.
He gets old time radio shows, sent to him, once a month, he's in an old time radio shows club.
He wants to save them to his downloads folder.
All the shows are links, and if you press enter on a link, the show plays.
I told him to highlight a link for a show, then press shift f10, and he did that. Unfortunately, there were only 3 choices in the menu, open link, copy link, and back button.
I was hoping that there would be save link as, but there isn't, there is only those 3 choices.
Anyone have another idea?
Harry
