Which of these is not happening when you run it? (To make Wget access other hosts, use `--include-domains b.mktw.net'.) ./wget -nH -p -k --html-extension -q -O /QoI/NDX/working/CHARTS/$myday+NDX.html 'http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=%24NDXsid=0o_symb=%24NDXx=60y=15freq=9time=1' -O will not work with -p. This is a limitation in how -p currently works.
Re: How to save what I see (2)
In a prior posting, I asked about saving an image from a Web page instead of just saving the information necessary to re-retrieve that image. I was advised to try -p -k --html-extension Using wget-1.8.1-pre2, I still don't see the image data saved in the .html file wget creates. Another problem is that while my shell script: ./wget -nH -p -k --html-extension -q -O /QoI/NDX/working/CHARTS/$myday+NDX.html 'http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=%24NDXsid=0o_symb=%24NDXx=60y=15freq=9time=1' works in one directory, run from another directory I get: rbl% sh chartshell 1231 nothing to do. nothing to do. ^C Happy New Year to all!

Is there a way to get Wget to save the image? Use something like: wget -p -k --html-extension '...URL...' That should make sure that the image is downloaded along with the page, that the `.asp' file is renamed to `.html', and that links to the images are converted for local viewing. Usage of the latest version of Wget (now 1.8.1) highly recommended.
