[gui-talk] Opening PDF files

[David Andrews]

I was both able to open the file and read it, and download and save 
it, so either your system isn't set up properly, or you are doing 
something wrong.

When I hit enter on the journalism link, the PDF opened up on my 
system.  If you have the proper plug-in installed for your browser, 
or have acrobat reader installed and set to read on-line files, there 
will be no problem.  I right clicked on the file  and there was a 
"save target as" choice.
