After much Googling and following of links, I managed to find out the
exact locations for steps 1 & 2 on that page, but after hours of
searching, am not much nearer to solving step three, in any way that
will make the movie player run in a web page.  Other newbies who had
posted everywhere else seemed to have the same problem. The player does
open if I click on its executable in the file browser.

I'm afraid I'm still at the stage where I need minute instructions :-)

So Trevor, how _precisely_ do I put it in my PATH??
