Pending orders...I want to process them

I am using authorize.net aim module.

Once the cc is processed and charged, can I set zen cart to automatically set orders to processed or delivered?

My product is essentially downloadable right after purchase. Thx!

In the Payment Modules ... there is a setting for the Orders Status on each module ...

Downloads are setup to be automatically released when the orders_status is >= 2 (Processing) and <= 4 (Updated)

So if you set your Payment Module for AuthorizeNet to Processing (prders_status 2) the Download will be immediately available upon approval ...

On something like Check/Money Order, if set to Pending (orders_status 1) the Download would not be available until you change the Orders Status of the Order manually in the Admin ... Customers ... Orders ... Edit ...

If you have both Downloads and Physical Products I recommend Processing (orders_status 2) ... if you only deal in Downloads and do not need to change from Processing to Delivered (orders_status 3) you can use Delivered instead of Processing ...
