C:\Goose>cscript getpage.vbs http://www.*-*-*.com/ > page.htm

There is a GNU program out there called wget that does this, and I am
using it now by calling

        WshShell.run "%comspec% /c wget " & webPage & " -O page.htm"

but was wondering if there was a way of doing it without using an
external program?

For the lurkers who are too lazy to search, here is how to save a web
page to a file:

With CreateObject("microsoft.xmlHTTP")
   .open "GET", "http://www.altavista.com", False
   .send
   WriteToFile .responseText, "page.htm"
End With

Sub WriteToFile(text, file)
   With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
      With .CreateTextFile(file, True)
         .Write text
         .Close
      End With
   End With
End Sub
