Correct answer

I used the font required and pressed the number 9 to add the tail on at the end but when I click off of the image the tail disappears

I tested the font (from dafont.com) in the actual Photoshop on a Windows 7/32 Bit computer.

It's all ok.

Do you have an example of what you're looking to do? I'm assuming you wither want the last letter of some line with a longer "tail", or do you want a big fancy swirl under the line starting from the last letter? Either way, you most likely should use the pen tool to draw the shape that you want. If you want an adjustable width stroke, like some calligraphy, Illustrator would be a better choice, as you can do variable width strokes with it.

Yes that's exactly what I want to do. Have the last letter with the long tail at the end. I figured out how to do it but when I do it and click off of the image in Photoshop it disappears. How can I get it to stay ??

What did you do to create it? If you drew it with the pen tool, you might have had the pen tool set to path, so it's still there, you just can't see it. You need to go to your paths panel, select it again and turn it into a shape.
