Yeah, that looks like what I want. :)  Particularly the ::copy() 
operator (http://doc.trolltech.com/2.3/qurloperator.html) and the fact 
that it can give a progress signal, which is something else I wanted to 
do but hadn't gotten to.  Thanks for the excellent lead! :)

Hrmm... RedHat 7.2 doesn't seem to have qtnetwork available, though 
Mandrake 8.2 does.  I wonder if RH7.3 does...  *mutter* Oh bother.

Thanks again,

Eli
