<p dir="auto">Hi Annamarie,</p>
<p dir="auto">If you read just above the part of the Help file that you quoted, it gives the full path to these files:</p>
<p dir="auto">MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/KeyBindings/</p>
<p dir="auto">These files actually reside <em>inside</em> the MailMate application. Although it's not well known except to developers, on a Mac, an application is actually a special kind of folder. It's very important not to edit anything inside an application because it could break the application.</p>
<p dir="auto">Keep reading the Help file, and you see:</p>

<br>
~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/KeyBindings/</p>
</blockquote></div>
<div class="markdown" style="white-space: normal;">
<p dir="auto">That's where you can put custom key bindings files to override the files that are built into the application. The ~ in the path is developer shorthand for your account's home folder ([Computer]/Macintosh HD/Users/[Your account name]).</p>
<p dir="auto">Hope this clears up the confusion!</p>
