   pnm://realserver.gdex.net/userid/realaudio/filename.ra where:
   
   userid is your login (username) assigned to you.
   
   filename.ra is the name of the Real Media file.
   
   Name your metafile with a ".ram" extension (i.e. filename.ram).
4. Upload your .ram file into your web directory (within the "public_html" directory - be sure to use ASCII mode).
5. Create a link to your metafile (the .ram file) in your web page:
   <a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/filename.ram">Click Here to Listen</a>
