Hi Teresa Thanks for the information, and I'm a try to do what you said about resetting some things in Safari later. However, I discovered that Safari was downloading the file and sending it out to downloads as well as opening it. I didn't think it was saving it. So I ended up with a clean BRF file. So, now I can frustrate myself and study UVB. Hey, some of you may already know of course, but the stuff not near as straightforward as they told us it was in the website. Anyway, I'll go have some fun!!!
