I too have the problem of old versions of Web pages coming up, especially
weather reports linked from http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/iwin/textversion/main.html
To avoid having to press the R(efresh) key every time, only way I have seen so
far is F8 to kill the cache, which I sooner or later have to do anyway when I
get a huge pile of garbage in CACHE directory.  But I would like to be able to
Get New, which would download from the http or ftp server, ignoring the cache.
Arachne is not smart enough to know weather reports become outdated several
times a day.

DOS Lynx386 does not have a CACHE directory comparable to Arachne, but writes
TCP/IP debug info to a file which can become huge, unless I direct to NUL.
