Thanks! That worked.
But there are a few problems. I don't mind so much the extra clicks
necessary to install the xol, but everytime I click on the bundle's
name in the Browse activity, it _downloads_ the file. If the file is
already on disk why the extra downloads?
Next, the Reader activity does not automatically start after the
download. I have to click on Open to do that. And if I click on OK, the
download bar closes, and nothing happens. The natural thing to do seems
to be to restart, i.e. click on the bundle's name again.
All these downloads seem to remain in the journal taking up space until
deleted.
Last comment is that deleting the bundle in the Journal also deletes it
from the XO, which is not exactly what I expected.
