html to text

[Janina Sajka]

If you're using lynx, press p for print, and select the first option, 1, 
to write the file to disk. It will be a text file, and you'll be prompted 
to supply a file name, though lynx will offer a default suggestion.

Next, depending on how you use lynx, you may need to clean it up a little. 
What do I mean? Well, I use lynx with numbered links turned on. So, when 
my screens are written to disk, all those lovely consecutive link numbers 
are right there, one after the next. I have two choices in a circumstance 
like this:

1.)	Turn off link numbering temporarily before saving the file;

2.)	Write a little script to get rid of the stuff enclosed in 
brackets.
