RE: download metalink articles - save target as
The way I do it is to print the articles to a .PDF converter like Win2PDF (http://www.win2pdf.com/download/download.htm) that installs a printer driver to which you can print anything you could have printed to a regular printer. The free version has a popup dialog but given the usefulness, is a small price to pay for the convenience. This way you get it in a format that is platform independent but maintains the formatting and layout. An additional benefit is that you get the complete URL in the footer which you can easily copy+paste into a browser to get the latest update of the article on the web.

There is hard to find and very expensive software called OpenOffice, which, in version 1.1, allows you to read a HTML file and export it to PDF. The whole procedure takes about 5 minutes. For those of us who don't have luxury of using MS-Word and MS-Office in general, OpenOffice is a gift from God McNeally.

RE: download metalink articles - save target as
Paula, I think the problem may lie in MetaLink's use of the icky icky frame construct (See http://www.useit.com/ for explanation of why frames are bad and aren't even needed). You don't say what browser you're using, but I can guess. Toss out that virus-toting piece of dung, IEeee. Actually, keep it on your system, but make sure you have Work Offline checked before closing it for the last time. That way, your MS Outlook (Lookout!) mail won't be able to automatically retrieve junk off of the web when you preview or read messages. This will help keep your spam count low. So, in Mozilla (or other Gecko variant like Firebird or perhaps even Netscape) or Opera 7.2.0, right click on the link to the article you want. In the popup menu that appears, choose Open link in another tab or Open link in another window or whatever option you have. With the link in it's own space, you should be able to figure out how to save the article locally. One thing to watch for when using this technique is that the MetaLink pages are often coded to open new links in a frame ([EMAIL PROTECTED]@#% frames!) from your original MetaLink window/tab, unless you right-click every link into a new window/tab. Mozilla and it's variants also offer a middle-click to automagically pop the link into a new window/tab. These other browsers have the nice intended effect of being available on multiple platforms, so you have the ability to call up MetaLink without needing an MS Windohs box. :) HTH! GL!
