Here's a script I use to download a 24 hour weather summary every
night. It may help:
I forgot to delete the "if t > 83700 then" ... "end if" statement in my
prior message. It only makes sense in context of the "on idle" that I
did remove, and (of course) causes the script to fail if compiled and
run as posted.

You can get multiple commands in one call using the semicolon

You can also use the -o (small o) switch and give curl a full path for
its output but you'll have to create the name yourself.
That's the approach I took in the code I posted (I grab the 24 hour
weather summary as part of a project to monitor air quality in our
building so I can determine wind direction, RH, etc when there are
complaints). I wanted a unique file name every time the script executed
and building the path on the fly is trivial.
