Hi List,

Many thank's for the useful information folk's.  CTRL P brings up
nice goodies in 1.71UE01.

Glenn, My Virtual screensize is 12000

At the HTML+gif complete page - CTRL P

There are several options available:

Export as BMP, changing PAGE.BMP to c:\arachne\somedir\micdoc.bmp
click on export.

Arachne proceeds, but no file created.  Leaving it as default PAGE.BMP
does create a BMP of the whole document in the download directory.

So were half way there.

Converting to JPG would be nice to save space on the harddisk, I get
Dos error "bad command or file name" when I click on convert.

Clicking on Preview get's a red box.  Thats a novelty..haven't had a red
box for ages.

Having a quick look in MIME.CFG there is a pile of what looks like
relevent stuff. Do I need to change anything.

It looks encouraging as the options available @ CTRL P do what I want
but I think I need to re-configure Arachne slightly.

Could we have a "dummy's guide to options available at CTRL P" 
please Glenn ?? Which includes a check list of any other settings that
need to be changed in order to get the options to work.

Ron, "*" That was useful, I normaly F5 and cycle through, Your way saves
my fingers.

Generaly:

I haven't any DOS imaging software for editing or printing saved images
however theres Wangimg lurking in W95 which will import an exported
JPG image or a BMP using windows central print services (if I could
persuade www.HP.COM to give me a driver for the Deskjet 500 for W95
rather than the mountain of Javascript I got yesterday)

Yes I agree in order for Arachne to work with printers drivers would
have to be included with the program.  My assumption was based on the
fact that we have all used the rinky-dink DOS wordprocessors from the
mid-late 80's you know the type shipped on a 730K floppy. There was
always a modest selection of printers from which to "install", a 9-pin
dot matrix, a daisy wheel, etc.  There was usualy an option for an
HP Deskjet. I assumed this was the same in Arachne.

Getting printout of text is one thing, graphics from the web is another,
which makes the driver requirement more complecated, so I do see the
difficulty.

However, although you might not want to print regulary, it does seem
logical that you would need the option to make a hard copy of
information you have just found.

I thank you all for helping me with this.

Regards Laurie
