[?] How do you upload files onto the Swiki?

Hi Mark -- thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, I am behind a firewall.  I suppose that's the culprit.  Bummer!

---==> Chris

BTW:  The file I was attaching (Singleton.cs) is quite small, so I don't
think file size has much to do with this issue.

PS> I've tried to upload files to the Swiki using Netscape Communicator 4.7,
and using Internet Explorer 4.0 (version 4.72.3612.1713), both times from
Windows NT 4.0.

PPS> How come I can send out e-mails with attachments?  If my firewall
doesn't stop that, then why should it stop me from uploading files to a web
page?  Obviously, I'm firewall illiterate!  :-)
