Thanks for the tip! If you are using an Apex, you need to take an additional step or two: 1. Before opening the file and after using space-x to view all files, find the htm file you saved and hit backspace-r to rename it. Put your cursor at the end of the file, type ".txt" to give the file a .txt extension, then hit enter. You are asked to confirm changing the extension, say yes. 2. Proceed as Marvin directed. Once you save the file, find it in the list again, rename it again, and this time give its original .htm extension so keyweb can see it.
The above is needed because the apex cannot, for some reason, open htm or html files in keyweb properly. Basically we just tell keyweb to treat the file like a .txt file, then give it back the htm extension so keyweb will translate it and not just open the raw text.
