Doesn't work. I can double click all over the place and it stays a
bridge. The help file says to doubleclick, you say to double click,
but nothing happens.
I have version 1.0.3.10 downloaded.

Nil there also.

Nil there.

Not on what I downloaded. Maybe I downloaded something that
doesn't work? Is there another file or version other than 1.0.3.10?
