Olin, I take blame for this. I threw out Google Docs as a suggestion
without realizing how involved the process is.

Amazingly enough there are folks who do not have access to web space. It
does take a minute or three to find a free host, jump through the hoops,
and get a site uploaded. I threw out a shortcut, and from the looks of it,
not a very good one.

Agreed on the last part. It's just not a good idea to presume that everyone
operates with exactly the same environment that you do. An image that shows
directly in the browser will even be better.

My problem was that I couldn't view the document. If I get it straight,
I'll post them and give a pointer.
