have to tell explorer to go to the web site for the times (www.nytimes.com)
and figure out the day's articles, and downad them all and make them link

Regis: This isn't an applescript solution. In fact, it's probably not a
solution at all, but I thought it might be of some interest.
A company called NewsStand will deliver a PDF edtion of The Times. There's a
fee, natch, but it also requires a proprietary reader application that (stop
me if you've heard this before) runs only in Windows. The company says that
(stop me if you've heard this before) it's working on a reader for other
platforms.
There's a link "Electronic edition" on the NYT homepage. Or you can go to:
