i wouldn't be screen grabbing... that's too much work... however, diligent
snooping under the sheets shows that they are using a frames format for that
help file... viewing the frame source for the left hand TOC frame turns up all
manner of links that all seem to start with "source/"... playing, i've found
that replacing "index.html" in your above link with the link in the page
sources turns on the actual page content... but this is still a lot of work
unless, perhaps, wget or a custom screen scraper can grab it all and format it
for local viewing... but there's still going to be a lot of work...

FWIW: i note on the initial page that there is a reference to CHM which is one
of the windoes help file formats... it would not surprise me at all to find
that they are either breaking the info out of an existing CHM in the
background or they have already done so and are using HTML to present it... it
is also possible that the site is working from the original sources of the CHM
file... the question now is if the CHM file can be found or made available for
those systems that are not conntected to the 'net... i think that is the
specific question that needs to be put to epson ;)
