Help needed downloading a file to a folder

[Bill Marriott]

Actually, I did download and go through your stack...
...and went through it again after your post below...

...but for the life of me I can't find a section documenting how to cancel a 
download initiated with "load URL."

There is a Cancel button in your sample that looks like it does the job --  
at least it kills the progress bar and reports "Canceled" -- but that button 
is cleverly protected from inspection. At least, simply clicking the Edit 
pointer isn't sufficient to probe the mysteries of your stack ;)

My own guess was to use "unload url" command, but I found that even after 
using this, the download kept running cheerfully along in the background.

Hi Bill,

Have a look at the post I sent 10 minutes ago :-)
Some details about the "How to download data from the internet"
tutorial:

This stack explains how to test the user connection, an url validity,
why and how to use get url or load url, retrieve data from framed
pages, give an account of download progress, cancel, manage errors,
display retrieved data (web pages, stacks, compressed or not), etc.
Print function included.
