>>Thanks much, but I don't understand what you mean by Doesn't Explorer 4.0 download pages? << Someone was complaining awhile back, I think it was on the welcome thread, about the red numbers disappearing on their SI subject book mark page. I recall the reason was Explorer 4.0 accessing each link on the page..therefor causing the red number to disappear. It was my understanding that Explorer 4.x would save a page and save all the referenced files on the page. If this is the case I believe it would do what you want. All you would need is a page with links to all the pages you want to download. You would then go to this page with your browser and save it...Explorer 4.0 would save the page and all the linked files. Just speculation from my interpretation of someone else's comments. However it is worth checking into. It would be easy to set up. If it works and you do not have a personal home page I would be willing to put the links on a page for you. Regards Zeuspaul

Peter, I've come across many shareware programs that do just what you are asking. They will go out on the net and search for the sites you want, and will download the pages, ready for you when you wish to view them online. There were also some, one of which I used once, that actually would go to a site, and actually d/l as many layers of all the links on the page as you specified, so in effect, you could d/l an entire site if you chose to, assuming your parameters were correct. It seems that one could use the program to do all this at night, so the results would be available in the morning. Unattended was the key word. I'll see if I can find the names and links for you for some of them, but in any of the popular d/l sites, like winfiles.com, tucows, zdnet,cnet, etc, you can find them under browser utilites, or something like that. Hope this helps Len
