Hello Carlyle,

As was pointed out, the *.bnk files don't play sounds.  You need *.sf2 
files.

A link to a very good one was posted to this list recently.  I don't 
have the link anymore, but the file name is:

GeneralUserGS1.4.sf2   (that's the way I renamed it to avoid the 
spaces in the original name.)  It's a 30MB file.

As was pointed out before, use asfxload to load it.

Regards,
Stephen.
