Hello HY,

The way access the code I sent you is:

 download("Http://www.mywebsite.html","c:\\download.asp")

 
This will download the webpage and save it as an .asp file (which is a .txt
  file. Then you must go through that .asp file with:
(untested)

sequence line
integer fn
  fn=open("c:\\download.asp")
 while 1 do
  line=gets(fn)
   if line=-1 then
     exit
   end if
  puts(1,line&"\n")--here you must study that line and see what triggers
                  -- certain data via http when in a CGI script.
                  -- then extract only that data and save it.

end while
