Hi Simon

An earlier version of CAb tried to get around this by using a complex 
nesting of appropriately titled folders. Unfortunately this proved 
impractical with the Atari's filename system and was discarded in favour 
of the system you describe above.

But fear not!! If you enter the URL of the site you've downloaded, CAB 
will look for it in the cache - it always does this first, even when 
online (hence the necessity of the Reload button for regularly updated 
sites). Alternatively, hotlist the pages and go to them via the hotlist. 
And finally, if you're still in the same session of CAB, a single left 
click on any part of the screen which _isn't_ a hotlink will call up a 
display of recently visited sites (about the last 20 or so), any of which 
can be double-clicked on and revisited.

If you ever do need to work out which cache entry is the site you're at, 
click on Source and (depending on your viewer selection) you'll be able to 
locate the filename.

Hope this clarifies the issue

Happy browsing

Andrew
