Solved my question. but do you know where I could get info re body vs.
documentElement. Leep running into things like this re
internet explorer.
Thanks
Steve

mcall = "http://www.klse.com.my/website/marketinfo/marketinfo.htm"

release o, odoc, otext
*LOCAL oie as internetexplorer.application
oIE = createobject( "internetexplorer.application" )
oIE.Visible = .t.
oIE.Navigate( mcall )
do wait_for_page
oDoc = oIE.Document
*lcText = oDoc.documentElement.innerText
oText = oDoc.body.innerText **<<-- body vs documentElement

StrToFile(oText, "test.txt")
modi comm "test.txt"
