Exellent, it works perfectly (in my test, at least.  I have yet to try it
for for it's real purpose).  I don't know why it didn't before, but
whatever.  Still, I may have another problem - is freenet portable?  If I
run the installer to install to a flash drive, put firefox-portable on that
drive, write a batch script to start freenet and open firefox to
127.0.0.1:8888, will it work on another computer?  (assuming that computer
has java).   It doesn't seem like freenet would _need_ any registry entries
to function, but I'd like to be sure, and i'm not certain I'd catch
everything if I did it myself.
