"I can't edit this web page. Each time I double-click on it, it opens in my web browser."
"Try right-clicking on it instead of double-clicking."

"It still opens in the browser."

"No, right-click."

"I don't understand."
"Don't double-click on it. Use the mouse button on the right. Once."

"It's broken. Each time I do it brings something up and then it disappears again before I can read it."
- click-click -
"Just click on it once."
- click-click -
"Once!"
- click -
"It's not doing anything."
- click-click -
"Now it's opened in the browser again!"
"Did you use the right mouse button?"
"Yes!"
- click -
"... no. Now it's showing me a list of things. I haven't seen these before. What do I do?"
"You wanted to edit the file, right?"
"Yes."
"So select 'Edit' from the menu it's showing."
"I don't see it."
"..."
"Oh, wait. Now I can edit these files!"
