The complete set of commands is listed below, the letter after `='
denoting the value the command takes. It is `on/off' for `on'
or `off' (which can also be `1' or `0'), `string'
for any non-empty string or `N' for a positive integer. For
example, you may specify `use_proxy = off' to disable use of
PROXY servers by default. You may use `inf' for infinite
values, where appropriate.
Most of the commands have their equivalent command-line option
(See section 3 Invoking), except some more obscure or rarely used ones.

Specify the number of bytes "contained" in a dot, as seen throughout the

settings you can tailor the dot retrieval to suit your needs, or you can
use the predefined styles. (See section 3.3 Advanced Options).

Set prefix for output files. It works only if `-p' is set. Wget
saves all the files retrieved from the net in files `received.n',
where `n' is a number. If a file named received.n exists, Wget
