Okay,

I should probably know this, but have to admit to ignorance.

How do I do step five. When I went to the site with Mozilla, it tried to
open and all I saw was a bunch of goobly-gook.

I thought I was going to get a prompt to download the file and then store it
somewhere for later execution.

Let me know what I am doing wrong.
