Unfortunately you are at the mercy of the owner of the computer. One person may set up their preferences to save to a file, while others will let the default take over, i.e., play the AVI file. But, there is a company/program that allows you to do what you want and that is Macromedia. As an example, Paramount sent out the ad materials to the stations that purchased Voyager, on CD. It contains lots of images and text. It was put together for Windoze and Mac users. Even though this CD didn't have any AVI files, they can. The whole thing is menu driven. Talk with the Macromedia people, they can help you out. There are too many variables doing it via HTML. MB -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bart: Hey, why is it destroying other toys?
