1. Copy and paste full path names into WebFetch.
   By using Windows standard powerkeys (ctrl-insert to copy, 
shift-insert to paste).  Paste the full path in the Website Name
box and then either hit the tab key, or click on the box.

2. Create subdirectories.
   If the subdirectory named in the D/L name does not exist, 
WebFetch will ask if you want to create the directory.

3. Allow multiple downloades through command files.
   WebFetch allows three different ways to "automatically" 
download one or more webpages at a time.

   (a) Command Line (one item):
       From the command line (Run menu, or as an item in a group)
   you call Webfetch with parameters that identify the full http 
   path of the webpage or file, where to save it on your hard 
   drive, and four optional parameters : run as an icon, D/L 
   referenced graphics, Strip HTTP headers, and Skip or Overwrite
   existing files (the last four work similarly as the options on
   the WebFetch main screen).

   ex: webfetch -igoks http://www.yahoo.htm/ c:\temp\yahoo.htm

       Where the options -i(icon only), -g(D/L graphics), -o 
   (overwrite existing files), -k (skip existing files),  and -s
   (Strip HTTP headers) are optional, but the full URL name and
   DOS filename are required.

   (b) Command Line (batch file) :
       From the command line you can pass the name of a "command"
   file that is a text file containing parameters in the same
   format as above, with one job per line.

   ex : webfetch /f weblog.txt

       Where the /f parameter tells WebFetch to open and read the
   contents of the weblog.txt file and execute each line separately.

   example of file contents :
       -igos http://www.yahoo.htm/ c:\temp\yahoo.htm
       -igs http://www.cnet.com/Content/Techno/ c:\temp\tech.htm

   (c) From WebFetch, you click on the "Auto Req..." and choose 
   the command file to run automatically. It has the same format 
   as in the previous section.

4. Saves a record of downloaded files.
   WebFetch saves a record of every file it downloads in a file 
named "weblog.txt".  The format is the same as the command file 
mentioned in 3.  To configure WebFetch to log the download of
webpages or graphics files (the default is both), go to the
configuration screen, and click on the Advanced Configuration
option.  Under "File Logger Information", check which items you
want saved to the logfile.  When done, click on the Main Screen
Configuration and click the Save button.  The settings are now
made permanent.  If you just want the changes for that session,
then click on the Set Button instead of the Save button.

5. Load, edit and save command files.
   To take advantage of the online editor, click on the "c" 
button to bring up the configuration screen.  Select Filelogger
Options and it will bring the filelogger configuration screen 
which includes an online editor.  You can create, load, save, 
and edit command files to use in the auto or batch mode.

6. Using with a proxy server.
   To configure for a proxy server, go to the configuration 
screen and click on the Advanced Communication option.  Under 
"Proxy Server Information", make sure the Proxy Server Active 
box is checked, and fill in the values for the proxy server port
and Name(URL Address).  Click on the Main Screen Configuration 
and click on the save button.  WebFetch is now configured to use
that proxy server and port for every download.

7. Using with a password protected page.
   To enable a user/password pair, go to the configuration screen
and click on the Advanced Communication option.  Under 
"Authorization", check the Enable Password box, enter a name and
password, and then click on the Authorize button.  WebFetch will
use that name and password for as long as the Enable Pasword box
stays checked.  If you want WebFetch to save that name/password
pair to a file and use it each time it starts, check the Save
Authentication box.  In any case, click on the Main Screen 
Configuration and press Save or Set to save values.

8. Set which webbrowser WebFetch mimics.
   Some webservers will deliver different graphic or text content
based which webbrowser you are using (www.yahoo.com and 
www.msn.com are just such examples).  You can currently configure
to "mimic" or convince the website that you are either Netscape
or Microsoft's Internet Explorer (MSIE).  Other webbrowsers may be
be added in the future. 
   To configure this option, go to the Advanced Communication 
option on the configuration screen.  Under "Webbrowser Spoofing",
click on either the Netscape of MSIE(Microsoft) option.  Then 
click on the Main Screen Configuration at the top and click on 
either the set or save button.

9. Resizing and customizing WebFetch interface.
   For some circumstances, the width of the fields in WebFetch's
main screen are not wide enough to see the entire pathname.  You
have two options, you can resize the main screen and the fields
will grow or shrink according to the change in the overall size
of the main screen.
   Or, the three "Status" fields at the bottom : Connection, 
File Name and Download status you can configure to show either
the beginning or end of the pathname.  To configure, position
your mouse over the field, and click once with your >>right<< 
mouse button.  Clicking again will switch it back.

10. Option to save filenames with or without complete pathname.
   To configure WebFetch to save with full pathnames, go to the
configuration screen, and click on the Advanced Configuration
option.  Under the Download Options is the checkbox to apply
full pathnames.  Once you have made your choice, click on the
Main Screen Configuration and click on either Set or Save.  The
default is to save only partial pathnames.

11. To access the built-in help.
   Click on the ? button on the main screen.  You will see a new
screen with the following functions:
   Help screen with three options : Version History, Features,
Readme - and yes, before you ask, these contain the same info as
the files of the same name.
   Network Status Screen - Lets you know if you do have a good
network connection.  If you are using Compuserve and find the
connection has dropped, it will tell that in this window.
   Force Winsock Connection - useful when another program (like
Compuserve's dialer) knocks WebFetch off.  By pressing this, WF
tries to re-establish a network/Winsock connection.
   And a scrolling advertisement at the bottom.  You can this
stop the scrolling by double-clicking on the text.
   Close button - what else?
