Thanx Kjell,

No I dont want CURL to parse the HTML page to text. Rather the HTML page
itself has the option to save the page in text format. This option appears in
a pull down menu (which says SEND TO) which has to be pulled and the option
TEXT has to be selected. I want that this selection be automated. How do i
tell curl to select TEXT option for me.
