I am a bit puzzled by Mary's comment. Using http://images.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/choose.pl in WinXP and looking for an image, when I eventually click on the page I want and 'submit query' I get a dialogue box ' headed 'File Download' and offering buttons for 'Open', Save', Cancel', 'More Info' which is a standard IE6 dialogue box. Is this just because I have been downloading images using the transcriber route already today? Doesn't everybody get this?

No. It depends on service packs, patches etc. We are working on the solution. -- Dave Mayall

Hi Jeff > Doesn't everybody get this? No You must be using a later version of WinXP where the problem does not exist. I am using a version where it does exist. I do *not* get the dialogue box you describe.
