<<one of their top picks which is also supposed to be very good for offline browsing and also converts HTML files into word or text pages.>>

I think that's Web Buddy--haven't tried it. Two put the lownloads into databases: Weblicator into Notes, and another into Folio Views. The former completely baffles me but the latter allows great searching and editing.

NetPIM generates a separate html file for each document--lots of overhead for short SI messages. I considered writing a perl script to save pertinent stuff, but Jill has indicated recently that they are working on an offline reader for SI.
Makes sense--AOL is now trying to minimize on-line time and the same should drive SI. Maybe everyone should plead with Steve Sneed to write OzSI.
