Good evening...

First, thanks for all the wonderful answers to the posts I've made to this
group.
It's really increased my knowledge of JScript.  Maybe one day *I* can answer
some questions...  :)

Now, I have a "small" .WAV file (about 17K) that I embedded into my start-up
page.  Problem is, as the file downloads, it tries to play it, resulting in
a stutter-like effect.

I've heard people talking about caching graphic files, is there a way to
cache a sound file?  Please don't just say, "use the same technique as the
JPG"...as I do not know how to cache graphic files.

Any help is gratefully appreciated.
