G'day mates, One of my common needs is to download several data files from a web page. Using MSIE 6 I seem to be limited to selecting one file at a time. This is a bit of a nuisance as it requires interrupting other work to go back to the page to select the next in line, etc etc. It occurs to me that there *should* be some simple way to do this -- maybe even within MSIE itself (but, if so, it escapes me 8-). Does anyone know an application or script (run from a batch file or command line would be *very* convenient :) that can do this sort of thing, please? Only needs to be very simple. Bells and whistles not required; just the ability to point to a page, select the files, and download to a selected directory. Something that works under Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP would be great! Failing that, just ME/XP would be good. And, failing that, just XP would be acceptable. Thanks for your time. Cheers, Phred. -- ppnerkDELETE@THISyahoo.com.INVALID
