Ken:

There's something odd about the scripting used in the download. Take a look 
at the GUI-Talk archive for November and December of last year and January 
of this year. Somewhere in there, there's a message thread describing how to 
get around the download problem. Essentially, you must refresh your screen 
after going thru the procedure to find the download link.
