That works, too. :)

Es de nada.  As a suggestion, a nice tool to use in conjunction with
wget is AWget, which is a daemon written in REXX that allows you to d/l
files via drag 'n drop from NS to the desktop.  I see it at Pete
Norloff's BBS as AWGT1512.ZIP.  I use it fairly regularly.  Installation
and configuration is quite easy, and it's freeware.

No, it only takes one entry.
