Ok,NOW I know what your comment was concerning Brad

Sorry, my bad - I thought you were saying the pics were too big for me to be uploading to the server, but I see now you were talking about the issue of them not being displayed by Internet Explorer.

Yes, I knew that (see my post at the start of the pics). For whatever reason, Internet Explorer will not display PNG files _unless_ they are 16 million colors. If they are 256 or 16 color pics, it chokes. However, Netscape works fine (just one of many reasons I prefer NS over IE).

I could post them as 16m color PNGs or as lower color GIFs, but their size would go up by 2 to 3X and I don't want to do that to Joe's server

Dog, as far as the "save as" - the pics show up as ".php" because of the way the forum software works. The correct file extension is PNG (Portable Network Graphics) for the pics I posted

Just change the filename extension to PNG and they will work fine (either view them with Netscape or with a gfx display program like IrfanView(free) or PhotoShop or PaintShopPro).
