Don,

I'm not really sure if the browser that ends up sometimes working is exactly
IE or not, it "came" with AT&T/Yahoo DSL installation, LOOKS different than
IE, but in "Help/About" although it is "named" Yahoo Browser or something
like that, ie includes IE version number too.  And it got set as default
browser, which is why it works when it does with the program under
consideration.

In any event, when the program WORKS, what happens is that there are 3 
headings, on what look like file tabs in a file folder, at the top of the
browser window just under various toolbars; those tabs have the name of the
url that's displayed in the window showing on the tab, and if you click on any
of the tabs, that page displays in the window.  Note that the BACK BUTTON is
NOT necessary to use to view any of the 3 pages, just click on any of
the NAMED tabs.  I think there are a number of "new" browsers that work
with "tabs" like this now.

Maybe someone can explain it better than I have.

But thanks for experimenting with it, I suspect that the method I "hacked"
to get the docs loaded into the browser was non-optimal in the first place,
as in the program doesn't "wait" until one is loaded before trying to load
the next, so if something system-wise delays one of them from loading, 
the next one just loads instead, maybe.
