can't play '.smil' files....

[Ynought]

I'm trying to play links from NPR (http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=13) and when I click on the 'listen now' button a '.smil' file downloads. When I open the file, quicktime starts but nothing happens. any ideas?

Mac Powerbook G4; OSX 10.4.8; Quicktime 7.1.3

thanks in advance

The ".smil" is just a pointer. You need Real Player to play the program
it points to. Get it here:
