     <ul>
     <li>Using the <b>Work With</b> combo box, you can select a site to browse its
     contents, or you can choose to browse software from all sites.  Browsing all
     sites is useful when you know the name of something but do not know where it
     is located.</li>
     <li>The filter box can be used to type part of the name of something that you are
     looking for.  The list of items will be filtered to only those matching the
     text that you type.</li>
     <li>A checkbox at the bottom of the page can be used to control whether the items
     should be grouped in categories, or listed by name. </li>
     <li>A checkbox at the bottom of the page can be used to control whether
     all versions, or only the latest versions, of software are shown in the list. </li>
     <li>A checkbox at the bottom of the page can be used to control whether
     items that are already installed should be shown in the list.</li>
     </ul>
     </li>
     <li>As you browse the available software, you can check the items that you wish to install.
   </li>
   <li>
     When you have finished making your selections, click <b>Next</b> to install the checked items.
     If the items you are installing require other software items in order to operate, those
     requirements will be included in your request.  A checkbox at the bottom of this page controls
     whether all software sites will contacted when looking for requirements, or only the site
     shown in the <b>Work With</b> combo box.
   </li>
   <li>Once you click <b>Next</b>, the wizard will validate your selections against your installed software, and report any configuration
     problems that might prevent you from installing a particular software item.
    <ul>
     <li>If there are conflicts that prevent you from installing one or more of your selections, the problems
     will be reported in the details area at the bottom of the wizard.  You may uncheck one or more
     of the selected items and validate the install by clicking <b>Next</b> again.  Or, you
     may click <b>Back</b> to return to the first page and change your selections.
     </li>
    <li>If all of the requirements are available and there are no other installation
    conflicts, clicking <b>Next</b> will show the <b>Install Details</b> page.
    The items to be installed will be listed.  Expanding each item will show what additional items will be required
    to complete the install.  You will see an estimated size of the installation at the bottom
    of the page.</li>
    </ul>
   </li>
   <li>If the selected items have license agreements to be reviewed, you must click <b>Next</b>.
     Carefully review the license agreements for the items you wish to install.  You may also
     notice items in the license list that you did not choose for install, but that are required
     by the the items that you are installing. If the
     terms of all these licenses are acceptable, check &quot;I accept the terms
     in the license agreements.&quot; Do not proceed to download the features if
     the license terms are not acceptable.</li>
   <li>If the license agreements are acceptable, or if the selected items did not have
   license agreements to review, click <b>Finish</b>.  This will begin the download and
   installation of the new software.</li>
   <li><p>Some of the items may be digitally signed by the company that provides them.
     This allows you to verify more easily that the features and plug-ins
     that are about to be downloaded and installed are coming from a trusted supplier. You
     may be prompted to verify digitally signed content once the signature is
     detected.</p><br>
     <p><b>Warning:</b> Because of the possibility of harmful or even malicious software,
     you should only download software from parties that you trust.</p></li>
   <li>Once all of the software is downloaded successfully and the necessary
     files installed into the product on the local computer, you will be prompted
     to restart for the Workbench.  Click <b>Yes</b>
