Hi Bruce: One method I have used to pick up dynamic news was to use the RSS
Feeds provided by some sites.

You can access the page, use xml to process the feeds by displaying the
standard feed subjects in a listbox and then either linking to the news item
or downloading it, if necessary - usually the content is provided in the
feed so you don't have to download anything but can display the content in a
listbox as the user arrows up and down the news item titles in the listbox.

It has been some time so I forget the exact technical requirements to do
this but I have done it a few times and it is allot cleaner than scraping
many pages and how news is usually provided to application programs and
client Websites.

Just a heads up for future research and expanding the possibilities and
possibilities are usually good.
