Hi Martin, all,

I didn't see your message to the group until today, possibly because
of the technical problems that Yahoo Groups was having. Sorry about that.

What error is it giving you?

I was able to get the search working. The directions in the Tutorial
are a bit confusing because they refer to a previous version of the
tool. To make it a bit clearer, I have uploaded screenshots of what
values I put in the tools. To see the files, go to the "Files" link on
the left, then the "Questions" folder.

Following the directions in the tutorial, the first steps are shown in
"spectro1.jpg" and "spectro2.jpg". Results of that search are shown in
"html-results.jpg" and "csv-results.jpg". The next step, searching the
Data Archive Server for the FITS files, is shown in "das1.jpg" and
"das2.jpg". Results of that are shown in "das-results.jpg".

Because I've always worked in a Windows environment, I'm not familiar
with rsync and wget, so I wasn't able to do the last step in the
tutorial. Are other people more familiar with these tools?

Let me know if the screenshots help you figure out what to do. If
you're still having trouble, feel free to give me a Skype on Thursday.
I'll be on from 3-4 US Eastern time. In the UK, that should be 8 to 9.

Thanks!

-Jordan
