Mechanoid Web Browser - Recording Capability

[Seymour]

Thanks John!
Lots of great leads in your post that I am busy looking at.  I did try
one program, MaxQ, that records web surfing.  It seems to work great.
I have looked at all of your leads and plan to give them all a try.
BTW, I am not sure how I came accross Mechanoid before Mechanize, but I
did and started to study that.   Somehow I had the notion that
Mechanize was a Pearl script.
Thanks again,
Seymour
