Hello Thierry, thanks for responding. That is is not a problem anymore 
(hopefully) since following Andy's advice. (previous post)

I didn't go out and get the sound fonts since I was able to get a .midi 
file to play following Andy's advice.

I don't have such a file. I do have one 
at /usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg which is somewhat different. There 
are no .sf2 files in there. I am running SuSE 9.2. Your distro and 
version may be very different.

As stated to Andy, Timidity will now play .midi files. However, when I 
try to play a file in Kmid it crashes. Following is the trace from the 
crash:

Hopefully some guru from this list can jump in here and explain why Kmid 
crashed. My ultimate goal is to have Firefox play a .midi file when a 
Web Page calls it.

Thanks for responding and trying to help.
