Then double-click on the File Manager icon.
Click on File on menu bar and select create directory.
It should say current directory c:\
If it does not click 'cancel' and then highlight c:\ below your drive bar. Then try again.

You have just created a temporary directory to house your Netscape files.

NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CREATED THE NETTEMP DIRECTORY UNDER C:\

If you are using win95; Click Start, Programs, Windows Explorer and then highlight under 'All Folders' the' icon (c:)' and then click 'File' then 'New' then 'Folder' and then type in 'nettemp' and hit enter.

Click on the 'Display download sites' button and choose a site to downlown from. (doesn't really matter) If the one you choose is busy try another one. The faster the modem the quicker the download time on all internet activity. A 14.4 is good and a 28.8 modem is even better. Any lower speed modem than a 14.4 should be pitched.

NOTE: IF YOU ARE PROMPTED WITH A BOX THAT SAYS "SAVE TO DISK" OR "CONFIGURE A VIEWER", MAKE SURE YOU CLICK ON "SAVE TO DISK" AND THEN BE SURE YOU ARE SAVING THE FILE TO THE "NETTEMP" DIRECTORY YOU HAVE JUST CREATED!

The download will take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes depending on your modem speed.
When it is finished, again, you may be asked where you wish to SAVE it.
MAKE SURE YOU SAVE IT TO THE C:\NETTEMP DIRECTORY!

SPECIAL NOTE: These instructions can be used as a guide for basic procedures of how to download a file from the Internet.
Instead of creating a 'nettemp' directory, you would create one called 'hold' or 'storage' or 'download'.
You would then run the file, and install the program on your computer in the appropriate directory.
