[Wtr-general] I am a newb

Try this.  Bring up a command prompt and type "irb" (this is the interactive
Ruby shell)

and type the following commands.  (instead of http://google.com, though,
type in the address of your page.  Do you see your link in the output from "
ie.show_links"?  If you send that to the list, we might be able to make more
headway.
