Yes, thanks, I see it now.  But it wasn't clear to me that I needed  
to go there.
I just assumed (silly me!) that the top listed item would be the  
appropriate
one.  However I now see that it does clearly say it is for Mac OS X  
10.5 and
above.  (This was less than completely helpful to me until just now  
when a
couple of people explained to me how to determine what the number of
my MAC OS X actually is.  I should explain that I am ***not*** a Mac  
user
by nature.  I am forced by my work place to use a Mac --- the choice was
either that or Windoze.  No poss. of using Linux.  Psigh!)

	cheers,
