I've several by automating MSIE via a vb-like language called Winbatch.

In fact I've written a script that logs into their BBS and then copies the
entire thing or crawls it. It's basically just like automating the steps
interactively. It uses COM and the ShDocVw + MSHTML objects.

It's probably possible to do with their WinInet extender as well, if the site
uses standard GET/POST type entries.

I just wrote a small script to go to www.worldtimezone.com and retreive a map
that's generated on the spot, via the current session id. However you have to
parse the page (as well as know what's coming) so that it doesn't fall apart.

The trouble is that certain websites are tricky and that logging in requires a
dialog box (like EBay) but I was able to write code to compensate for that
too.

Anyway, I may have to experiment with a BBS or two and see if the ones I'm
interested in can handle standard GET/POST procedures and do it all via URL
encoding. If so, then I can write a script that does it all invisibly so that
MSIE isn't involved.
