I did that Bob, and on loading it, was exactly back at the page with the 
download button on it.  But see a reply I posted 5 minutes ago, I got it 
sorted because iceweasal did in fact dl 4 copies of the .pdf before it 
hung each time.  So thanks to okular I now have a paper copy in the file 
cabinet.  Which was the point of this exersize. ;-)

Cheers, Gene Heskett
