want to install the Acrobat Reader on your computer now?" into tStr
  get smartAnswer("Adobe Acrobat Reader needs installing",tStr,"Yes","No")
  if it="Yes" then installAcrobat
end askInstallAcrobat

on installAcrobat
  global g_Volume
  set the cursor to watch
  set the itemDel to "/"
  if the platform is "MacOS" then put g_Volume&"/MM pdf/Acrobat/Reader
