I'd like to thank all responders!  'wget' and 'httrack' were both very 
useful answers.

'wget' works pretty well for static pages without scripting and for 
simplicity, it just works the best.  I forget which options I selected, but 
I believe they were for 'recursion', 'mirroring' and 'updating links.'  I 
didn't experience wget going off into other servers or root levels.

'httrack' on the other hand, was VERY thorough.  It did go into other 
domains.  Again, I'm a little hazy about the options I actually selected, 
though I do recall trying to limit the range of information it collected.  
In the end, I just let it run its course and checked later and erased the 
stuff I didn't want.

I will likely use both solutions at different times depending on which 
solution fits the need.

Thanks again!  This has been useful.
