Hi Alex. This is really weird, but I tried it twice just to make sure I had followed what you said. I got it to work, but here is how.
First, I did what you said (the first time I left off the shift key.)) I got the menu, but it said about saving frames. I saved one anyway to Downloads. However, that file just saved out the links, etc. , no text of the .brf file. When I called up the file I just saved, the link then didn't ask about frames. It then asked about what you said, about downloading files. When it saved out the file this time. it was saved with a .brf.txt extension. It took off the .txt part, and it works fine in TextEdit now. I forgot to say that I saved the first file I mentioned when it talked about frames in downloads so I should be able, even if I have to change the extensions to save the other files. I've never seen this happen before, and I don' know if it would do the same in Windows or not. I may have to let them know there is a problem. If anybody out there has Windows, could you test it for me and let me know if this is just a Safari thing or if maybe I could change how this web site is showing like emulating Internet Explorer maybe.
