Curiously, the original question email has not appeared in my inbox. 
Please send your questions to the list as well as your replies.

I am using Firefox on a windows machine connected to the internet in
Illinois, USA via a high speed residential link provided by AT&T
U-verse.  Like Geert, I find that the PDF versions download rather

the help files bundled with the program, I suggest that you keep a local
copy on your hard drive.
