Hi Jim,
I tried your recipe, but I think It will not work. What happens is that
the book is created from the original url and the url in the getUrl mthod
is fetched, but then NewtsCape crashes with a heap error. I suppsoe it is
simpler to add a meta tag to the already downloaded news file and then
process it in newtscape.
There is a PREF meta tag in NEwtscape, but I don't quit understand how it
work for basic prefs.
