OK I have it...

I tried what I had got an idea for... and I scanned a 
single page for links...

Then I opened the "new" file with all the info. Problem 
was there was all this junk too... I only needed column 9 
(URLs)... no problem.

I resaved that text file as a .csv (comma and tab de-
limited file.) Then I opened it up in a spreadsheet, went 
to the ninth column and cut and pasted it into a text 
file. I cut out the extraneous links at the beginning and 
end of the list and the Voila... I had my perfect URL list.

By the way, the csv thing almost works perfectly, you 
should try it... the only problem it looks like some of 
the column headings are screwed up when I do this (shifted 
over by one, one is even shifted down.) This makes it 
harder to decipher if you are looking for more than just 
one column like me.

Anyways, this would be easy to automate, but I'm no 
programmer. Wish I was.

The drag box idea would be easier and cooler though.

I answered my problem though...

HTTrack is awesome...
