Did you create an account with them, get a password, and then log in |
| 18 |
to start an online trading session using their web-based stock trading |
| 19 |
platform? It's not until I do that that I have any problems. |

Their whole platform is built on Java. I run their stand-alone |
| 22 |
application version on Windows Vista. I've run it on OS X. I've tried |
| 23 |
to run the stand-alone Linux application on Gentoo, both 32-bit & |
| 24 |
64-bit, but couldn't get it to install. (Maybe 6 months ago? Maybe |
| 25 |
longer.) |

Anyway, the whole trading platform is Java based but you won't get to |
| 28 |
the real meat of the problem until you create an account (free to |
| 29 |
create) and then run the full blown program. |

I'll keep looking into this. |
