RRR im getting frustrated, I can  not figure out how to work this program.
I downloaded the file from this site, un stuffed it with the new unstuff,
then draged it into the applications folder of my hard drive, (i also tried
the main directory, and re downloading it...)
version 3.6 running on osx 10.3.5

I open up the program and attempt to render the benchmark, nothing happens.
In the messages window this comes up:
