But I think Bastiaan's problem is one I've run into when trying to save
a HTML page. Pressing F2 will save the basic page but NOT any graphics
that are linked into it. The graphics have to be snatched from the
cache, and due to the numbering system used in the cache it is not easy
to loacte them. Usually on a freshly loaded page the associated graphics
will be the most recent ones in the cache, but not always.

One solution, which may not be the best but it works, is to press F8 to
clear the cache then reload the page. Then whatever is in the cache must
be the graphics associated with the page in question.
