Well I failed to mention this is on IE6.  Apparently on IE7 
they finally (sensibly) changed the first option to mht.  So I 
need to find out how to make that the default first option on 
IE6.
Thanks,

Clint, I just checked IE7 and it does save the page to .mht web 
archive
as the default. When you want to look at the saved file it 
reopens IE7.
Is that what you want?

Have a great day
