Thanks for the suggestion  - now how to "grab" that from a web page, how 
to store it, and how to display it/them (the hyperlinks) on a VFP form ?

Here's what I did (eventually)

1.  Found two extensions for FireFox ("Copy as HTML link" and MakeLink") 
both of which enable grabbing the whole of the <a></a> shebang to the 
clipboard.  This is *really* nice (in IE I would probably have to save 
the displayed text and the URL as separate operations"

2. Paste, or otherwise, save these tags/elements/snippets (what would be 
the correct terminology, I wonder ?) into a memo field

3. Tio display the links, do a STRTOFILE of the memo field (prepending 
an <HTML> tag) to a temp file and then use the "DHTML Edit Control for 
IE5" and the LoadDocument method.

It all works rather well.

Cheers
