How to select...

Try this: First, click somewhere in the track where there isn't a node or automation line/curve. That should de-select all the nodes in case more than one is selected. Then click on the node you want to change and drag with the Smart, Move, or Edit tool.

How frustrating... this is a basic move... nothing I try allows me to grab a node... I've click in other areas of the track, in adjacent tracks, tried all the select tool options (if I use 'edit' and click elsewhere on the track it immediately crops the track)....

thanx, that worked. Let me ask this... I have several seconds of silence at the beginning of my song... what I was doing was moving the envelope closer to the beginning of the audio so I could cut the silence out and have the track start immediately... but when I do that, cutting the tracks and allowing it to delete the hole doesn't seem to include the envelope, so the audio moves to zero but not the envelope. Is there a better way to do that?
