Let's talk about that another day please. Is it simple give the individual links ?
OTHOH even Oberon has WebNavigator which should do frames.

Try to get "http://www.edgarschwarz.de/oberon/WebDAV.1.3.2.Zip"

Old problem. Use another command to get a file and save it.
I just don't remember it just now. Something with HyperDoc.* ?
BUT you could even give WebDAV a try.
	DCT.SetHost "www.edgarschwarz.de"
	DCT.Get "/oberon/WebDAV.1.3.2.Zip" Test.Zip
I just tried it with Aos. It worked ok.
Because DCT.Get sends a normal HTTP GET a normal server also understands it.

And you also could give "http://webdav.ethz.ch/nodav/src/" a try. I did put 
the current sources and also an extended no.WebDAV.Tool there.

You can write it and put it at "http://webdav.ethz.ch/temp/". 
You already have a user and password for that.

And now I have to leave for the TV !
