On my Mac as well as on Windows and Linux I've always had multiple versions "installed", Miss B. By "installed", I mean: I had a folder named, say, 'blender279' and one named 'blender283' and so forth, each with all of the files for that version within it.
If you launch Blender using the executable in its respective folder, that version will launch. However, if you go through the actual install process (.msi ??) then that would be the default version that will launch if you double-click on a .blend file.
Hope that wasn't too convoluted an attempt at clarifying this.
Oooops, I missed your post earlier Robyn. Sorry about that, and yes it clarified things. I think I've always downloaded the ZIP versions, because I hate MSI installers of anything, not just Blender.
