Re: Re: GIMP 2.4.2 help?

Try this link: http://www.4shared.com/dir/4792879/6ac0eb09/sharing.html. 
(FYI, I got to this one from a link under Folder: _My 4shared_ on the 
page with the hijacked Download link.) This new link leads to a page 
that has links to all the help file formats, so it should work for 
anyone. A hint (at least for Windows users): Right-click the file name 
and select "save link as."

Does Linux support right-click menus? I'm a week or two away from 
installing Ubuntu on an old machine ...

Isn't it just nuts that we have to fight like this to get access? But 
there is a certain perverse satisfaction in finding the end runs that 
relatively few would even know to try. Is that a peculiarity unique to 
those of us with a proclivity for Alternative Software? <G>
