No, if all you want to do is open your browser and read the text of the webpage
there woulld be no need of disk activity. Except of course the opening and
closing of the browser. Now for that, you wouldn't need any euphoria programing
at all just a browser.

I was under the impression that you wanted to clip some text and save it for
later use.
