Thanks again Alan, and Adam:

I've tried to get the API reference from the InterBase documents
linked at the Firebird site.

When I click on the link, instead of getting a window asking where
I want the download saved on my PC, I get a page of funny characters.
Shift click and control click give me the same results. How can I
download the reference manuals? I'm using Firebird.

Thanks again
Larry
