I got it downloaded, I can find the file that says "Index" (as per instructions) but when I double-click on it AOL tries to open up and nothing else happens.</SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">On my machine I have Internet Explorer. I also downloaded Firefox.(primarily for extra protection against viruses). HOWEVER, I have to kick on IE before Firefox can get on line.Then I can browse through Firefox OK but if I download anything it has to go through IE as well. Could IE be blocking my efforts at trying to get Signtext??? </SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">Any ideas??? </SPAN></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">Jerry</SPAN></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Hello Everyone, and Jerry!</DIV><DIV>Thank you for this message. I am sorry you are having frustrations with software. I do not know why AOL would open, when you double-click on Index.html...AOL is conflicting in some way...That is specific to your computer.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>But may I ask?</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Why are you downloading software at all, Jerry? Why not just learn SignWriting instead, and not worry about software right now? Software is not for everyone. You can learn the symbols and write by hand... See a listing of lessons sites below this message...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Or, if you want to use software, why not download SignWriter DOS? It is our best typing program at this time, and has a dictionary too...It requires Windows 98, or SE or ME, or you can use it on Windows XP with DOSbox.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Download Software</DIV><DIV><A href="http://signwriting.org/downloads/">http://signwriting.org/downloads/</A></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Or maybe someday you can get DSL or cable internet, which will give you a faster connection to the internet...Then you could access SignText online, on the web, and you would never have to download anything.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Anyway, have you been reading the Lessons in SignWriting textbook?</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px;
