Matt,

> How does SIS handle downloads?

SIS 1.0 has no downloading capability. However, if SIS 1.0 sells well,
I'm assuming the SIS team will be interested in providing this
feature at some point in the future. I'm thinking that someone would
have to write an FTP XCMD for Spectrum first, then the SIS scripts
would be able to tap into that.

The nice thing about looking into the future as far as SIS is
concerned is that Spectrum's author and Seven Hills have a strong
history of supporting the program and continuing its development.

I've been watching Seven Hills and Spectrum's development closely now
for the past year, I would not hesitate to speculate that if the IIGS
community supports SIS, then we will see further development on both
the web browser and Spectrum itself.

Like you, Matt, I'll be ordering SIS soon. (And I was a beta tester. :)
I hope many others do as well.
