downloading current page in lynx the cat

Hi all.

I've been looking through the lynx man page, and the help file, but
can't find what I'm looking for.

I know that hitting d on a link you're pointing to will download that
link for you. However, say I'm currently sitting on a html page, and
want to download it to save to my hard drive, just as if I had been
pointing to it, and used the d option. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Greg

The only way I've found of doing this is to bookmark the page; then go to 
it in the bookmark file and press "d". I'd also be interested to know if 
there's another way.
Hth.

You want the p (as in print) option.

No, I don't, since as far as I can tell, that will give me a text
version of the page, and what I want is the actual html.

Hi!

  One  way is to see source with \ and then print->save to local file

Hmm, I'm not sure; I'm aware of the print command but does print really 
give you the same results as download?

Hey, thanks. That's even maybe a little bit faster than bookmarking and
downloading from the bookmark link; one less step in a way.

Re: downloading current page in lynx the cat

[Ralph W. Reid]

Perhaps the following steps are what you are looking for:

1.  While the desired page is being displayed, press the backslash (\)
key to get the html source.

2.  While the html source is being displayed, press 'p' to print the
current document.

3.  Select the option to print the document to a file (probably the
first option on the menu).

4.  Modify the default file name if desired, and hit the enter key to
save the file to your disk.

5.  To return to the html source document, you may need to hit the
left arrow key, as though you were returning to a previous document.
Once at the html source document, press the backslash key (\) again to
bring back the rendered document.

HTH, and have a _great_ day!

A good synth?

[Sina Bahram]

Hi guys,

I need a good hardware synth. My employer is willing to spend around 300
bucks or so....I need it to work with a variety of linux apps, like SpeakUP
for sure, and possibly EmacSpeak as well. Also anything else that uses a
hardware synth if that's possible.

What's a good one people? In my opinion the DoubleTalk's quality is just
*shutter* but if that's the best for that price range, I guess I'll have to
go with that.

Thank you all for any replies.

Take care,
Sina

Re: A good synth?

[nick G]

That's as good as it gets.  Doubletalk is second only to dectalk in the
hardware arena in my opinion.
Thanks,

I believe the only thing available for that  kind of money is the
doubletalk, of course, you might be able to get something else that's
used for that price.

All synthethic speech is subject to individual taste.

For instance, contrary to your opinion, I find Dubltalk the most useful 
speech I've ever found for fast and clear reading.  I use it over any and 
all other speech, including Dec talk in any version.

There is not one rightspeech package for blind folks.  It's subject to 
individual taste and one's actual practices, as for instance in my case 
reading fast and understanding everything.

I have to agree with Nick here. I think the doubletalk is the best
synth I've heard to date. I even think it sounds better then the
dectalk, though that maybe because I've used a doubletalk for about 6
years now, compared to infrequently working with a dectalk, for an
hour or less at a time, and there weren't many of those times.

The way your reply to field seems to be set, is that when somebody replies to
you, they reply both to you and to the list. So, you're probably
getting 2 replies, because one comes to you, and the other comes to
the list, which you also get.

Hey no! I don't personally own a Double Talk but when I've heard them
in the past, they began to grow on me.  Personally, I use a Speakout
from GW Micro but first of all and very unfortunately they have
stopped production as with so many hardware synths and second, when
they were sold, they went for something like $695 or so.  It is/was a
very fast and pretty easy to understand at those high speeds and best
of all, it does *NOT* force abbreviations down your throat like so
many of the software synths do.  I want to hear it say "M N" not
Minisota!!!"; ever heard of Sunday Micro Systems:)?

The worst synth I think I ever heard was a Type & Talk or possibly a
votrax and the old Echo from Street Electronics was another bad one.
At least the Echo was dirt cheap - something like $100.

I think the Accents sound pretty good and you can wind them up to be
pretty fast and you can still understand them once you're used to its
speech quality.  Again, they aren't made any more either.  I one an
Accent PC and it still works good but the SA model I also have just up
and died for no reason last year.  I hadn't had it for any more than a
year before it just up and quit so I wonder about the quality of Acent
synths in general.  My Speakout has been used a lot for something like
7 years now and I've carried it around places, replaced the internal
battery twice and I only had one incident of breakage in that whole
period.  I sure wish more hardware synths would be built.  Thank God
the Double Talk is still around.  The Tripple Talk is another option
but I don't think progress has been made yet concerning the driver for
Speakup to talk to it.  This would present another hardware synth
option.  I still feel that hardware synths are far more responsive
than any software thingy out there Software synths are nice for
portability and possibly economy but that's about it.

Re: A good synth?

[Jayson Smith]

Heh.  I have a soft spot in my heart for the Echo, simply because that was
what I used on our old Apple computers for so many years!  So I got pretty
used to the sound.

Hi guys,

I need a good hardware synth. My employer is willing to spend around 300
bucks or so....I need it to work with a variety of linux apps, like SpeakUP
for sure, and possibly EmacSpeak as well. Also anything else that uses a
hardware synth if that's possible.

What's a good one people? In my opinion the DoubleTalk's quality is just
*shutter* but if that's the best for that price range, I guess I'll have to
go with that.

Thank you all for any replies.

Take care,
Sina

All synthethic speech is subject to individual taste.

For instance, contrary to your opinion, I find Dubltalk the most useful
speech I've ever found for fast and clear reading.  I use it over any and
all other speech, including Dec talk in any version.

There is not one rightspeech package for blind folks.  It's subject to
individual taste and one's actual practices, as for instance in my case
reading fast and understanding everything.

The way your reply to field seems to be set, is that when somebody replies
to
you, they reply both to you and to the list. So, you're probably
getting 2 replies, because one comes to you, and the other comes to
the list, which you also get.

Re: A good synth?

[Glenn Ervin at Home]

I use a Double Talk once a while at work, when none other is around, but I
think it is pretty bad.
It does enunciate well, but the sound just bugs me.
Actually, I prefer an Artic, or external artic notetaker better than double
talk.
But most people like the DecTalk best.

Hey no! I don't personally own a Double Talk but when I've heard them
in the past, they began to grow on me.  Personally, I use a Speakout
from GW Micro but first of all and very unfortunately they have
stopped production as with so many hardware synths and second, when
they were sold, they went for something like $695 or so.  It is/was a
very fast and pretty easy to understand at those high speeds and best
of all, it does *NOT* force abbreviations down your throat like so
many of the software synths do.  I want to hear it say "M N" not
Minisota!!!"; ever heard of Sunday Micro Systems:)?

The worst synth I think I ever heard was a Type & Talk or possibly a
votrax and the old Echo from Street Electronics was another bad one.
At least the Echo was dirt cheap - something like $100.

I think the Accents sound pretty good and you can wind them up to be
pretty fast and you can still understand them once you're used to its
speech quality.  Again, they aren't made any more either.  I one an
Accent PC and it still works good but the SA model I also have just up
and died for no reason last year.  I hadn't had it for any more than a
year before it just up and quit so I wonder about the quality of Acent
synths in general.  My Speakout has been used a lot for something like
7 years now and I've carried it around places, replaced the internal
battery twice and I only had one incident of breakage in that whole
period.  I sure wish more hardware synths would be built.  Thank God
the Double Talk is still around.  The Tripple Talk is another option
but I don't think progress has been made yet concerning the driver for
Speakup to talk to it.  This would present another hardware synth
option.  I still feel that hardware synths are far more responsive
than any software thingy out there Software synths are nice for
portability and possibly economy but that's about it.

Re: A good synth?

[Jayson Smith]

I totally agree.  On Ebay these days, you can sometimes find good deals on
Dectalk Expresses.  And sometimes you can even find an old DTC01 for $5 or
$10, but they are usually untested, or the person doesn't know how to use it
and says that it powers up okay but is otherwise untested.
