 Save as
 Stores the currently displayed page into a file. A dialog for entering
 the filename will appear after calling this function. The page will be
 saved under this filename. If the file already exists, it will be
 overwritten.

 Save URL as
 Works like the previous function, with the difference that you will be
 first asked for the URL of a page to download, and then for a filename
 to store the page into. After both have been entered, the page will be
 downloaded and saved.

Then, of course, there's the man page:

 -dump [0|1] (default: 0)
 Print formatted plain-text versions of given URLs to stdout.
 -dump-charset (alias for document.dump.codepage)
 Codepage used when formatting dump output.
 -dump-color-mode (alias for document.dump.color_mode)
 Color mode used with -dump.
 -dump-width (alias for document.dump.width)
 Width of the dump output.

Good luck.
