[LON-CAPA-users] Windows SP2

[Felicia Berryman]

Hi Ray and Mark,

I sent you a PDF in another email about enabling pop-ups for XP SP2 
written by a high school student at one of our outreach schools.  I 
can't test it out here, so if you can give me some feedback, I'd 
appreciate it.  I'm hoping to get this student to rewrite the student 
guide for everyone to use.  The web version needs to be in XHTML too.  
I'll keep you updated.

Felicia
