Thank You, Camper Mick!
(I'm passing all related info to my friend and will report to the list which
solution(s) enable him to bring up the site. Hopefully this will help others as
well.)

AOL has a mind of it's own. He has to cut and paste the url (any aol
user has to) if he receives a link from outside the aol domain. Since he
could not do this I would suggest that he clear out his history and
cache then reboot back into aol and try again.
