I hadn't, but I was sufficiently intrigued to give it a go. I substituted a
local WWW site for Craig's and tried it out. It worked! Now all I need to
do is load the text into a file, open it in a browser, and I can surf the
Web with IDL!

I didn't bother trying to connect directly to Craig's site because we are
behind a firewall. Are you? If you are, then the HTTP queries have to be
sent to your proxy server and formulated a bit differently.
