Many browsers are configured so that whenever the you click on a link for a text (.txt) file, the browser will open it. This is great if all you want to do is read. But if you want to keep it for
yourself, this is not very convenient. Each browser will have a different way to save a text link, and some can be done in multiple ways. Since I use IE 5.0, that is the only on I know for sure.
Below I have included a list of different ways to save the text and below that is a link to all of the text files you can download. (So you don't have to wait while the previous page reloads.)
Methods
The most obvious of course is to just print it.
The easiest is to do a "Save target as..." In IE you can do this by right-clicking on the link.
You can Cut-n-Paste. Open the text file (left click on the link) then open your favorite text editor. Then select all the text, copy it, then paste it into your text editor. Don't forget to
save your file before you close your text editor.
