that's definitely true. it can include autoloading of graphics, frames and
levels of links.

I thought perhaps the original question was asking whether it was possible
to download files to desktop, then sync to Newton for later offline viewing
-- you could sync .html files to Notes or NewtWorks, but graphics wouldn't
be included; and the process would be somewhat cumbersome anyway.
