-- First I screwed up and did not search for "contains"
yahoo and cookie
-- Found the reference for the group backup in Yahoo.
-- struggled and got the following command line:
<http://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.done=http://finance.yahoo.com%2fp%3fv%26k%3dpf_4&login=<<LOGIN>>&passwd=<<PASSWORD>>>;

-- The above line WORKS if I sign out of netscape then
instead of logging in, USE THIS string exactly.

-- But when I embed the entire line into DOS BATCH script,
NOTHING comes back except "Verify" login error.
-- DOS shows "%" missing, so I doubled up "%%" and it still
failed.

-- This is not a solution I was thinking of - I expect the
cookies to be read and processed and not have to deal with
this way of getting to the site.  But will live with it if I
can get it to download properly.

Thanks!
