I installed IE 5.01, and all was well.  You solved my problem.

THANKS!

You are right and I am stupid :-)

Had I noticed this (which I definitely should have), I could have
solved my problem with a much smaller footprint than resulted from a
full Internet Explorer installation.  What you had on your page before
should have been adequate and the way you changed it makes it even
better.  Honest, I tried, please just chock it up to my aging brain.

Oh.  And thanks so much for the extensions - they are wonderful!
