Thank you.
I had asked in another forum [can't recall which].
I was told that in the general case what I wanted could not be done as 
many pages a generated dynamically. Therefore I dropped the issue.

Laura's reply is apparently locally misfiled due to a filtering error.
I found in a backup directory as result of an unrelated search.

I'll follow up on the links as show help me ask better questions in future.
