Blimey, I wish I'd posted a .zip file now.

I did that, but Inkscape did not accept the file...

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you indeed, Sabrina!!
I certainly had not noticed the + and - signs. The nice thing is that I
have - again - learned useful information today!
This works perfectly now.

Lookint at the page with Firefox, I see the rendered half glass and can
right-click and "save as...". Switching to IE7 and all I see is the code, and no
"save as...".
Use:
ctrl-a to select all
ctrl-c to copy to the clipboard
Open a text editor, like notepad or whatever you prefer. (NO word processor)
ctrl-v to paste the text
ctrl-s to save with name "tall_glass.svg"

That's not what I asked.
He said that he copied the contents of the svg file to a file (I assume
using notepad?) and then renamed that file to .sgv. You suggested that
instead he saved it directly from the browser. I asked why that would make
a difference.

Oh, I see. I don't know why it would make a difference, but it worked for
me to do that, and it didn't work for him to do what he did, so clearly it
made *some* sort of difference.
I simply was saying "this is how I did it and it worked".

But given that the file is in XML format it doesn't make sense that
it would make a difference.

Except if the copy-paste operation is not as neutral as it should.

It wouldn't surprise me if Windows Notepad would decide to screw up XML
in some way.
That, and its surprisingly easy to copy all but one line or all but one
character of the text you meant to grab.
Just saving the file directly simply eliminates a few possible ways for
things to go wrong.
