Instructions for Downloading:

Near the bottom of this page you will find a download link for the Members' Handbook.

Click on the link with your RIGHT mouse button and you will see a menu like the one to the left open up...

In Internet Explorer or Opera, Choose "Save Target As..." and download the file to your desktop (in Netscape or Firefox you choose "Save Link As...").

When you select the "save target as" or "save link as" entry, a download screen will appear asking you where you want to save the file to on your computer.

The download screen will appear like this...


  

Where it says - "Save in" you should click on the drop down box and save the file to your "Desktop", or another folder you can easily find.

The file will be downloaded in a .ZIP file. A ZIP file compresses the book so the file size is smaller and allows for faster downloading.

To unzip the file you will need WINZIP. This is a FREE program and already installed on 99.9% of computers. If you haven't got WinZip on your PC you can download a free trial version at the bottom of this page.

When you have downloaded the file, go to your desktop or the folder you saved it to and double click the zip file to open it.

The handbook itself is a .PDF file, so you will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed in order to view the file. (Yes, it's also MAC compatible).

If you are using a Dial up connection the download time will be longer than using a high speed connection.

The file size can be quite large so please be patient while your file downloads.
