online transcript browser

[Jean Berko Gleason]

Brian, thanks for this.  It works really well, even on a not very fast 
dsl line. I notice that you can stop the proceedings by clicking on the 
picture, and that it is easy to go back and forth in the transcript by 
clicking on individual lines.  All very good to have.  One suggestion is 
that down the line it would be great if the navigation folders had some 
indication if the files in them had attached media (perhaps a little 
media symbol of some sort), so that people looking for examples could go 
right there.
