Edgar,

es> HyperDocTools.Fetch "http://carnot.pathology.ubc.ca/" => carnot.html ~

Thanks.  Will try that.

es> AFAIK that's not a question of Oberon but server and protocol policy.
With a HTTP server you aren't expected to get a directory listing normally.

OK.  The Anarchie application for the Mac appears 
to be getting a directory listing via http but really
it is just sifting the addresses out of index.html.
Anarchie does not list files which are not linked in 
index.html.

es> OTOH with a WebDAV server a PROPFIND with depth>0 should give you a
directory
listing.

So WebDAV really does subsume ftp!

Thanks again,            Peter E.
