The trick is to browse to the document (menu etc) you want normally
with www. Then type "help" to get the www address of the document.
Copy it down.
Then, separately, give the command
www -source -n -p documentaddress > file
to extract the source into a file. You have to do this because if
you start www in -source mode, you can't follow any links. We paln to
add a command to extract the source of an article when you're
browsing normally.
> (2) Can I post this type of questions to www-interest list ?
You should send them to www-talk@info.cern.ch, not to -interest.
Interest is used for announcements to a larger number of people.
