Thanks for the advice - I will look into these tonight and report progress. Some notes below:

I will also arrange that tonight. curl is a useful tool and I will be glad to have it available - although again I will be surprised if it is relevant here. > 3. java plugin: You need it, because the sites often use javascripts and > flash together.

I discussed it before, but > already forgot details. The about flash page: You mentioned java before and I failed to understand the significance. Forgive my stupidity, I understood that: - java and flash are completely unrelated. - javascript and java are completely unrelated. They share only a common name and syntax. Surely the java plugin is unrelated to javascript? - I am aware that many .swf files are depandant on javascript wrappers - but I understood that javascript was enabled and working in this build. I will gladly download or build whatever java support is required - I am simply amazed to find that this might be relevant. I will let you know. > I got a bad yesterday, this is the reason to replying only now. I hope today is better.
