Thanks for the info, Eric.
To make a long story short, I have been able to access the CBC story
clips by using Real Audio Player for OS 8/9. I turned on my internet
connection and dropped the .ram file on Real Audio. It started to
play after buffering.
I'm meeting a deadline for Monday, but will investigate your
suggestions regarding Hijack later.
