    of all previous and current values (not including the value at the

    this in the "set t 2 4" line.<br>

                  you are not doing a batch download (of all the files
                  first)? Also, if you really are going to do this

                  could create a control file and open it as you go

                absolutely must process the files sequentially, I think

                                  download all files and then run in one
                                  big loop. I download each file
