Bastiaan,

If you are looking for a particular file, you don't need Norton to sort
out by day/date/time in order to retrieve it.  There are easier ways.

Hit backspace and use F7 to search for URL if you can't readily see it,
click on the history entry and you'll be at the desired page if it is
still in cache.  [If it's not still in cache, you'd have to go online.]

Then, if you want to save the whole page you can with F2, and put it
where you want it ... that would be HTML code only, of course.  Any
graphic you wanted can be right-clicked to isolate, and then saved.  

If you are looking for attached files, the screen of InSight tells you
the file name written, and where it resides.  Most often it should be in
Arachne.tmp ... at least it is for me.

For downloaded files that didn't, for some reason, get saved correctly
the first time .... use history to find where you did the download,
reload that page or ftp, and clicking on desired file should immediately
present you with the "Save" screen if the file is in Cache.

The only time I need to shell out of Arachne to Norton Commander is for
correcting mail ... I have a friend whose M$ software names every damn
graphics file "application/octet stream" and I found the easiest way to
access those files is to rewrite the letter to show image/jpg or
whatever, and then Reload the letter.

l.d.
