This is what I am trying to do-- but automatically from a console.
Galeon will save as *.ps file.  But does w3m,links, or wget save as
*.ps file?  How can I write a script (bash, perl) to go to a website
and dump the html page as a *.ps file (or gif,jpeg...)?

I am basically trying to get a local weather forecast off the web
and use it as a background on my desktop.
