HI Tom,

Well, I missed my chance to get a firm handle on the filename, because I was 
so eager to click Cancel on the download dialogue while I heard Jaws 
speaking a progress bar as if something was happening already despite my not 
having yet permitted it. So I don't know. But I will look more carefully if 
such a thing ever happens again.

thanks.

Hi,
Yardbird, since you say that the file started with j, perhaps it's
java-related.
Tom
