I took a crash course in javascript from some online docs when I needed to
come up with some scripting to get a job done.

You're on the right track.  In the radio_load_2.html file, you'll see a
function called wihchPath.  this determins where to go next, based on the
browser used.  One bit says:

        if (OpSys == "Linux") {
                window.location = buildOldURL();

Good enough for me.  so I scroll down to

function buildOldURL() {

and down a little it says:

                if(args.showType == "live") {

return("http://www.cnet.com/radio/rlu/live_2.html");

So that's where we go, kids.

And on the 3rd screen you'll find:

        var livePathRmp = "http://www.cnet.com/radio/playlist/live.ram";

If anyone wants the URLs I have for the javascript tutes and references,
just let me know.  A little bit of javascript knowlege helps a lot when
figuring out this stuff.

Geoff.
