Accessing the text of an HTML document

[Kurt Cagle <cagles@blarg.net>]

Does any way currently exist to read a document into a string variable 
using a URL call? I suppose what I'm seeking is the READ analog of the 
document.write capabilities so that one could effectively type:

myWnd=open(myURL,etc.);
var mytext=myWnd.document.READ();
myWnd.close;
