One possibility is to print to 'Generic Text' on port 'FILE:' or some such.
When you print your file, you're prompted for the path & filename.

Another might be to select everything, copy to the clipboard, paste into
Notepad, Wordpad, Word, or whatever and save it. Not elegant but possible.

On another tack, BusinessLink has a (pseudo) Java-powered firewall kind of
thing that can do all the downloading of spooled files, live sessions,
etc., while in a Web browser. Pricy (sp?), but maybe a good possibility.
