Click in the bottom right corner.

I'll test. Is it still from 0.7 ? RayeR's one is from 0.7 too, unfortunately it crashes on bigger (100's of pages) documents, and "g" doesn't work.

happens to me (CTL-C or CTL-X)

My "L25.COM" (16 Byte's) can too :-)

Good, but it does not help on slow loading large HTML documents or lazy server letting me wait ... something like "resolving address" and "waiting for answer" + clock would be nice.

How does the "network" notice that I restarted Dillo? Any idea how to fix apart from kicking "W32DHCP.TMP" ?

Works as supposed (my card has no 32bpp ...).

Most likely I'll never love Linux and it's "concepts" of file I/O & file naming ("dev/etc", "README.DGJPP", ".hiddenfile", blah-1.2.3.1.zip", dot and dotdot (splendid idea pirated by Bill ...), case sensitivity, 1'000'000'000's of almost empty files (but you can't merge or delete them for Linux heck), ...).

Untested. Will it print the complete page (bigger than screen) ? What can I do with PS files ? Arachne can shoot a complete page bigger than screen (within some limits) into a BMP file.

> if I can add writing the screen contents to a PNG file
COOL (or only 24-bpp BMP) :-)
