Hello John,

On connect, Injoy autostarts a batch file which starts (among other things)
several separate sessions with wget (called with different options, for
retrieving files from internet, for mirroring (parts of) websites - 'quotum' 1 
MB per session at a time).

I came to the same conclusion. I am thinking about putting a message in the
wget mailing list to ask output to the screen and to a logfile at the same
time.

I don't doubleclick, I have it on automatic. :)

I sent yesterday my REXX file again, have you seen it?
