Forgive me if this has been covered in one of the many discussions
about entities. However, I'm trying to use the GCA Paper XML DTD
for Markup Technologies 99 with IE5 (3/18/99) and also Amaya.

The DTD http://www.mulberrytech.com/MT99/mtxmldtd.html
references several entities files. My test file (below) tries to
use entities from 3 sets, Greek, Technical, and Pub; this produces
some curious results:

       Greek  Technical  Pub
IE5    ok     fails      fails
Amaya  ok     ok         fails

Is it that these browsers use built-in entities and completely 
ignore external entities?
