I was looking at the website when I wrote that and that is the way the page is titled. ;-) You are correct that it is gwget. Linux is case sensitive and that does make a difference. But it is either an upper or a lower case letter so if the 'G'wget did not work the first time I think that I would have tried 'g'wget the second time. ;-) -- David
