	No joy, but thanks for replying/.   I will make a "fetchaudio"
	program my last project for FBSD.  I'm wearing out, but the
	one thing I want to contribute before I hang up my  spurs--er,
	keyboard--is a non-GUI port that, after the user inputs, will
	go out and get webcasts in mp3, and store somewhere.  so the '
	user will have several audio file to listen to <<  whenever  >>.

	I was hoping to use  videos like NOVA too, but that may not work.
