I tried running the example in the text around Figures 4.1 , 4.2.  I''m
running WinXP-Pro/SP3, Firefox 3.6.2, Firebug 1.5.3.  All the details
are in the following Command Window results.  It''s pretty obvious that
"new" is not a regularly recognized Windows command,  but I
don''t know
whether the author was running Unix, Linux, Mac OS or something else.
BTW,  I think this book is a great tutorial.
Thanks in Advance,
Richard

Re: Problem running "Practical Prototype ..." example
Problem solved somewhat: I was supposed to paste the "new ..." code in Firebug:Console, not a Command Window. I''ve still got a problem, but I''ll post it on a new thread.
