[MWForum]RE:: saving archived attachments

[Dan Stone]

Hi Wendy,

Mac users are okay if they're using IE. Just click and hold the mouse button
down on the link until a menu pops up. (a few seconds).

Then select 'download link to disk'. This worked on my G-3 All-in-one. I ran
both files to make sure they'd work.

I had mixed results with Netscape. The cardtrick file DL'd and I could open
it with MW Pro. But the Teach the turtle.doc file appeared to Dl but when
opened was an error page, not the document...

Dan

I had misunderstood Daniel's original suggestion, and at first I was
trying to right-click on the opened project.  But in fact, it does
work wonderfully well to right-click on the *hyperlink* itself on
the attachments page and then choose "save target as."  But can
anyone tell us what Mac users with just one mouse button would do?
