Added some further documentation pointing out the workaround to make
flash objects embedded within forms (as all objects in a PG problem are)
work with IE.

+The secret to making this applet work with IE in addition to normal browsers
+is the addition of the C(<form></form>) construct just before the object.
+
+For some reason IE has trouble locating a flash object which is contained
+within a form. Adding this second blank form with the larger problemMainForm
+seems to solve the problem.
+
+This follows method2 of the advice given in url(http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400730&sliceId=2)
+Method1 and methods involving SWFObject(Geoff Stearns) and SWFFormFix (Steve Kamerman) have yet to be fully investigated:
