Dick,

Thanks - it took me few trials to understand what you meant  but now I see: I go into full screen (new method), which gives a two-page layout, then option-click to choose Single Page mode for the preview (same as going to the preview window - didn't know it could be accessed in full screen) to display single pages in full screen mode.  I am happy that it works, but the academic question is, why doesn't full screen use the default display mode from the preferences (single/multiple pages) instead of always starting in two-page mode and asking the user to change it?
