Hello,

 command line option:
  -P,  --directory-prefix=PREFIX   save files to PREFIX/...

 .wgetrc option:
  dir_prefix = PREFIX

 I have two questions:

1) Why they are different? I think it makes wget harder to use, and it's not
intuitive.

2) Let's say you had some very good reason why to have "dir_prefix" command
in .rc file (I'm in doubt about this, but nevermind)...

So far "directory-prefix =" and "directory_prefix" strings in .rc file leads
to "invalid command", so they are not used at all. Why they are not working
as expected (as an variant to "dir_prefix" command)?

 I think it's of course too late to remove "dir_prefix" from rc commands
list, but it's still possible to include command-line version of all options
to work in rc too. I think this will make the wget more intuitive for
average user.

 I don't need this feature anymore, as I did already check wget help, and I
know now the "dir_prefix" command, but I think some new users will profit
from such change.

 Otherwise I'm very happy with wget so far, works like charm for me, thank
you very much.
