I have always found using IE 6 that the easiest course of action when I 
want to read a PDf document from a web page is to open the context 
menu, choose the Save Target As option and download the file to my 
HD for later reading in the Adobe Reader.   But yesterday I 
encountered a file the link to which had no Save Target as in its 
context menu.   Does anyone know of a work around?  I tried activating 
the link in the hope that it would appear in Adobe 6.02 but after losing 
speech for several minutes I heard the message "External Window" 
bbut then the system froze.  
Should it be possible to read such documents directly without first 
saving to HD and if so, is  special configuration necessary in either IE6 
or the Adobe Reader?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Douglas
