[thelist] MPEG video not displaying in N6.01

[sfmalo]

Thanks, Mr. Dave. That was really a dumb mistake but the other two browsers
I checked it in both displayed the link (probably 'cause it had already been
visited while testing). Thanks for catching that. N6.1 prompts you to
download the MPEG after which the MediaPlayer screen immediately appears and
the clip starts playing. So I've found that the <a href> tag works on all
browsers I tested, but the <obj><embed> code doesn't work in NN4.7. I had
used those tags on another test page first.
