Ray,

Okay - I'm thinking that I'm seeing a pattern here. The thing that was 
bugging me was the need to pop the remote twice. Or exit and restart IE, 
or whatever. Because it didn't work the first time, I went looking for 
other problems like javascript.

This helps - the minimum path seems to be just what you say: allow 
pop-ups, then try to kick the remote twice.

Thanks!
Mark
