[John F Davis]

Hello

I just tried the link below it was simple to download in lynx.

Highlight the pdf link and type "d" then select save-to-disk.

Not bad for a bigot.

I tried Mozilla 0.9.4 and I *was* able to get to the next link.  I tried
Konqueror ind KDE 2.2.1 and I still go the "incorrect parameter message".

It was a browser difficulty and not a .pdf problem at first.  Now, however,
I
do have an Acrobat problem.  The website won't let me download the .pdf
file.
 It is forcing me to use Acrobat.  I do not have Acrobat loaded.

Thanks.
