Hi Franco, I see your point and I have a slight variation on the topic. Perhaps we should at some point use an external browser instead of the text based approach we have now. I mean that we could use firefox and have it hold bookmarks and display the pages instead. I don't think we should try to get the complete pages including flash, banner ads and irrelevant...for lack of a better word...crap. I'm talking about only the html files including the text. Getting the html would make the formatting look like it was supposed to, color will stay etc. I just fetched the mobile version of the main bbc news page. As text and as compressed html. Here are those files: per@newdelly:~$ ls -l bbc* -rw-r--r-- 1 per per 5510 2011-04-28 16:11 bbc.htm.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 per per 8137 2011-04-28 16:10 bbc.txt The first is the compressed html file and the second is the text file. The compressed html file is abt 67% of the size of the text file. I am attaching two screenshots here: bbcnews.png shows the html version and bbctext.png the text version we have now (but this is shown in firefox). The problem with compressing like this is that the whole file needs to be transfered. Also, the html probably contains a lot of irrelevant references to ad and statistics sites that we should remove to compress the pages more. So there is work there... But, it would solve your problem as well in that you can save and print using the external browser. Bookmark handling would be easy.. 73 de Per, sm0rwo tor 2011-04-28 klockan 10:06 +0200 skrev Franco Spinelli: > Now we can get a WEB page using Info -> Get WEb page > > Downloaded page go to Terminal tab.
