you could write a browser plugin (eg. firefox extension) that feeds to J the HTML from every site you visit. you could use wget or curl or lynx to dump HTML to a file you could use HTTP from J using system/classes/socket/jtelnet.ijs all you have to do is send eg. "GET /index.html HTTP/1.1" to a server and you'll get HTML back (after some headers) ta, jack ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
