L.D.,

You start, saying downloading is so easy in Arachne, then later you run into
difficulties (dragon76 files).

There ought to be a way to tell Arachne to just download a file, never mind 
what's in it, and give a file name and directory to save to.  So easy with Lynx
and IBM Web Explorer, though IBM Web Explorer often couldn't find a Web site or
went to the wrong Web site: comical, and part of the reason why OS/2 Warp failed
to compete with Windows for the desktop.  I would rather run (Infozip) UNZIP on
a .ZIP file away from the browser, and sometimes I might want to keep an HTML
document for future reference.
