After you use the get command, the contents that you just got are put in
the "it" variable.
Get url "http://myurl.com"
Put it into url "file:C:/mydocuments"
Or, you could just do this:
Put url "http://myURL.com" into url "file:C:/myfolder"
You can also put the url into a variable:
Put URL "http://myURL.com" into myVar

I understand how to write the statement
get url "ftp://a.b.c/d.txt"
or some such. OK, so now the file is somehow "in" the computer, with
the Get.
What I don't "get" (so to speak) is how to put that data into my local
computer as a file. I assume it is something like
put url "file://something"
but I'm not sure about the "something". "file://c:/dir/filename.txt"?
"file://c/dir/filename.txt"? And I'm not sure how to specify the data
to "put" in the Put statement: is it implicit (one of those magic words
like "it" or "this" or something)?
I'm sure this is simple/obvious, but only if you know it...
:)
