Susan/Don.
I am sorry. Didn't understand.
You mean if I try to open an a3p or a2w file using a web browser it should 
open?
I tried but raised a "java not found error", even that I really have java 
installed, and also alice 2 and 3 working fine in my PC.
Thanks.

Hi Don,
Thank you for saving the day! Yes, now the Alice 3.1 Worlds my students
created can be downloaded and enjoyed. I appreciate your help.

Take care,
Susan
