Woo yay and huzzah!
Thankyou all as usual. The combination of pprune talent and teamwork succeeds!
I saved the registry file to my desktop, double clicked it, and when I relaunched firebird, I am java enabled.
I was happy, then I followed slj's link, now I'm astonished. That is so way cool! I've not had time to investigate fully, are there more for other airports?
Many thanks again. Woo and yay once more.
Not another word against the highly acclaimed pc/windoze ME/aol/firebird combination!
