Audacity 1.3.x is now obsolete. Please use the current Audacity 2.1.x version.

Mac 0S X 10.3 and earlier are no longer supported but you can download legacy versions of Audacity for those systems HERE.

I think so too, and IMHO the new text looks a lot more clear.

A recent message that I read on the audacity developers mailing list suggests that the problem on Macs has now been identified and fixed, so hopefully it will be OK in the next release. http://n2.nabble.com/help-folder-in-Mac ... l#a3633545

If you are up to installing our 1-3-10 Alpha you can check out the fix about seven hours from now. Go to:
http://www.audacity.homerow.net/index.php?dir=mac%2F

and get the build from the bottom of the list. The one you want will be dated "2009.09.14-03.15" or later.

Thanks for reporting the problem.
