The "save as" menue option is so you can save the page as html and
change the name to something you will recognise when you look at it later offline.
The "save contents as" menue option is so you can save the conntents of
the page and change it to ASC11. I've been using these menu items as I would
on any other App. that uses them or similar options and never thought of
them as being diifferent, and I have been using Amigas for about 8 years.
