In this case I was just wondering whether BibDesk could grab raw BibTex from
a page when it is presented outright. This could apply to a number of sites,
where you can click on a link and get to BibTex text.

Specific JSTOR functionality would be great, of course. Will look forward to
future developments.

Thanks,
Ingrid
