More correctly stated, currently, as

	However, if you run the current CVS version of Ethereal,
	right-click on packet 6 and select "Decode as...", ...

as the "Decode as" dialog box isn't in any release yet, and he said he'd
downloaded 0.8.15 (and spoke of "-non-capture" or "-capture", so he
probably downloaded a Windows binary, and may not even have a compiler
with which to compile the CVS version).
