Hi Leroy,

Thanks for your presentation at the last NTLUG meeting.

Sorry you're not getting much help on this because I'm stuck at the same 
place!

One thing that seems simple but apparently is not would be to do "View 
Page Source / Save As" on the current page to save the result of 
javascript evaluation to a file. I can't find a way to do this from 
outside Firefox. If I make any progress, I'll let you know.
