I am getting very frustrated with Mozilla/2, for the
reason that I do not know how to consistently *USE* it.

What I want:  Given that I have a "link" to a file, I want
that file to be downloaded to my working directory.

What I am getting:  Mozilla/2 apears to be fetching something
(at least initially), but the Mozilla/2 display screen does
not change, nor does the file show up in my working directory.

 -  Sometimes, if I press <shift> while clicking on the "link",
    what happens is what I wanted.  But other times, the "link"
    is just a cgi script, and <shift> offers to download the
    cgi script, not the file that I am after.

 -  I have tried doing an RMB on a plain "link", but *none* of
    the entries in the menu that gets shown appear to provide
    "download this file to my working directory".

 -  In particular, if the "link URL" is in the Navigation field
    in the Mozilla window's header, I do *not* know how to cause
    "download this file to my working directory".

Would somebody PLEASE help me learn how to consistently download
with Mozilla/2 ?
