Great thanks.  I bought the Official Guide book. Is that a good source to
get me started as well?  Form submission by the script will be very helpful.
It is an asp based site.

Here's an example of a script that does something like that:
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=get-stock.r

Except, of course, it's using an interface to a Yahoo stocks site.

If your site can provide a similar sort of download file, the adaptations 
needed may be trivial.

If you can't, and need to screenscrape, then 'parse or 'load/markup are your

friends.
