zai, I access the 'net via this Win98 box, and can open Word documents... but if I have the file unzipped on the Mac and ready to install, why copy it to a zip disk and sneaker it over to this machine only to open it and have nothing important inside the file but the guy's name (which I added when I downloaded it). Maybe there is something important there... if I run into problems with the model I might go hunting for a readme... but that is an extra step to a different machine. Most of my fellow Mac users don't have both machines. I ought to look into BBEdit one of these years. It'll be handy for other things, too. Carolly
