Then you just have to double click on the application to launch it.

4. How to uninstall it?
There should be no reason to do this. ;-)
However, if really needed, you just have to throw it into the trash, that's all.

5. How to use it?
The "File/Next window" menu:
It allows you to scroll to the next window.

The "File/Previous window" menu:

It allows you to save and open the document with its default application, such as your web browser for an HTML file for example.

The "Edit/Find and replace..." menu:
It allows you to find and replace text.

The "Edit/Regular expressions..." menu:
It allows you to find and replace text with regular expressions.
It is much more powerful than the simple find and replace function. It allows to search for complex expressions thanks to pattern matching and to replace them with other expressions thanks to pattern matching too, which can depend on the result of the search...
To learn how to use regular expressions, you can read Steve Ramsay's Guide to Regular Expressions or other documents on the web.
