You have to explicitly enable Texture mapping and loading for *each*
scene using the "Render->Textured" menu command.
Reason: I`am using a 14 K Modem and don't want to wait until sll
textures have been loaded from the net.

So I have tried the texture tests, and for me it seems to work.

Should I provide a poup like
"This scene contains textures, do you want to load them ?"
?

This is for the "new" user to see something is happening
Please disable this "Autospin" in Dialog Options->Config->Autospin at
startup, and also important is to specify a cache directory in
"WWW->Options" dialog.

Thanks for testing.
