Jamal,
if there is a "print" option on the page I'd give that a try, about 70 percent of the time now a days I find that if I hit the print option link on any kind of article, you usually get the "printer friendly" version of the same information, with the whole article on a single page, smile 

HTH,

Thanks, Cris.  Does anyone know of a good Skype tutorial or reference.
I know there are individual pages on the official site, but I find it
annoyingly inefficient to have to read a bit and then go to another
page, etc.

I use the Skype SMS feature with JAWS even without Doug Lee's scripts and it works quite well. It might even be better with the scripts but as it works 
well enough for me, I haven't tried them as I'm a lazy sod.

Subject: Idea for a program

I would like to develop a simple program that presents a dialog with an
edit box for a phone number and another for a message (as well as others
if needed), which then sends the text message to the (mobile) phone. Does 
anyone know of a free API to do this?  If you know of a free, accessible
program that already does this, which is efficient to use, than the need
may already be met.  I do know of a web site that enables this freely via
a form,
http://TextAway.com
Is it possible to automate the filling out of the form via a script? I do 
not know enough about how such web scripting is done, and whether there
are security barriers that sites use to prevent this.
This would be an open source project, so if anyone can help me get started 
in any language, it could be a collaboration.

Jamal
