Thanks, I understand.  However I did already try wget with some wildcards
which, of course, doesn't work.  The PDF's must be had through the listing
webpage, as far as I can figure out, else the Court's FrontPage-written pages
with associated CGI's denies access directly.  They probably put all their poo
in one directory instead of setting up a public read-only area for the "publically
available" PDFs, my guess.  Else they want to make life difficult on purpose.

I don't have the resources on this system to install sed and lynx, nor the
time right now come up to speed and configure them on another system
here.  More troublesome is that my ISP has for the last day or so been 
up and down like an outhouse seat, which has caused me to trace PPP
packets.  Major Pain.  Oh, well, what can one expect with Windoze servers 
running IIS being patched from the worm-of-the-month-club.
