I am using the wget command below to get a page from the U.S. Patent 
Office.  This works fine.  However, when I open the resulting local file with 
Internet Explorer (IE), click a link in the file (go to another web site) and 
the click Back, it goes back to the real web address (http:...) vice the local 
file (c:\program files\wget\patents\ . . .).
       Does this have something to do with how wget converts web links?  Is 
there something I should do differently with wget?
        I`m not clear on why it would do this.  When I save this site directly 
from IE as an HTML file, it works fine.  (When I click back, it goes back to 
the local file.)   

Thanks, Alan
