Simple showtext question

Hi!

I'm a newbie to libwww. 

My requirements are basic: I need to download HTML files and parse out the plain text. My attempts at doing this met with only partial success in the past. Libwww looked god-sent to me.

However: my experiments with  the "showtext" sample has not yielded much success. It always messes up with <script..> </script> tag, spitting out the script as part of the text.

(Sites I tried: www.msn.com, www.cnn.com, www.rens.com). 

Any help  would be sincerely appreciated...in anticipation of blissful parsing....
