I could use a little instructions.  I don't see in freescan where to 
download files.  I can't get it to talk much, pull downs talk, but all I 
get otherwise is treeview and nothing reads either with window-eyes or 
nvda.  Can freescan go to radio reference.com directly?  Or do I have to 
download the file separate and somehow import?
