Barry,

The PSN Explorer program comes with the new beta release of WinQuake. After
unzipping the beta release zip file you need to copy all of the files into
your WQ root directory. One of the files you will be coping is the
psnexplorer.exe program. 

Basically PSN Explorer (PE) is a web browser. To use it you must have
Microsoft's Internet Explorer version 4 or 5 installed on the system. The
main advantage in using PE is when you download event files from my system
or from other event file databases like the one at
http://www.iris.washington.edu/pub/farm/. When you select an event file for
downloading PE will execute a FTP transfer and then the download is
completed notify WQ of the new file. WQ will then open an Event
(seismogram) window containing the new file.  You do need to specify a
download directory like c:\temp that can be used each time a new file is
download. You specify this directory once by either using the File /
Download Directory menu items in PE or you will be asked for it the first
time you try and download an event file. 

PE is also used as the help viewer for WQ if you have Internet Explorer
loaded on the system. PE fixes a problem with Internet Explorer when
viewing help information within WQ.

Hope this helps.
