I wondered why this never showed up on the list. When I checked I found
that I had hit the wrong key and replied directly to sender. Sorry.

First, thanks to Derek Atkins, Matthew Vanecek and Paul Harouff for their
replies. One thing I've always liked about the Linux community is the
willingness to help some poor slob (such as me) who is floundering in the 
dark.

Second, the explanation that the problem is in the server makes more sense 
in
that RPMs I download from other sites don't exhibit this problem.

In any event, shift + left click works fine.

Many thanks guys.
