Thank's Randy,

Funny, Safari doesn't save to text. Camino seems to do a great job.
The problem is that when you highlight text and copy or even saving as
a text file, you get all this extraneous java, graphics or URL stuff
that you have to edit in before you can get real, unadulterated text
:-(

Cheers,
