What is the correct application? I probably have still got it (but
probably not the latest version) on the back-up disc, which luckily I
have kept, but I don't know what it's called!

I'm afraid I found that URL difficult to use with Webster 1.99u15,
which I have had a lot of problems with. But I don't think the browser
is the problem, there were plenty of Icons with no desciption of what
they were. I just feel wary about putting things onto my harddrive
when I don't know what they are.
On quite another matter, a !PDF icon (with the 3-loop figure) has
appeared (I don't know why) in my Resources:$:Apps window and if I am
downloading a pdf file, it shows itself.
Is it a general rule that if an application shows in Resources:$:Apps,
then when it is needed, it runs? Very handy!
