The "shift+right" move is what finally enabled me to use the 
Cut/Copy/Paste/Trim/Export functions.  I discovered that I don't have 
the MP3 converter, but I was able to edit out a selected 15 seconds of a 
song by exporting it as wav.  I don't quite understand how it works yet 
though.  I would think the initial highlighting would do the trick, but 
it doesn't - it requires going in and re-highlighting (in a darker color 
still) the same section again, which I don't understand the reason for, 
but if I can get my music segments, that's what counts!

Thanks for all your help!

PS - The next time I closed the program, it cleaned out that temporary 
file, which is good.  I wouldn't want to have to manually deal with that 
every time!
