In fact, what I normally do is copy a link from my browser to the
command line in the terminal window and download it with wget. Saves me
an extra file copy around the net.

I'll get there! I'll go add wget to the list of useful commands I'm compiling.

People here sometimes forget that some of us came to Linux through Asterisk and not the other way around. I'm sure it seems obvious to use wget to you, but while I've seen it mentioned in passing, till now I never got what it was good for. I knew how to use FTP to get files from FTP servers so as that old saying goes, "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!"

Anyway, thanks for being so kind to a Linux newbie.

Ira
