Sorry about that Aaron. I was looking at the website when I wrote that and
that is the way the page is titled.  ;-)

You are correct that it is gwget. Linux is case sensitive and that does
make a difference. But it is either an upper or a lower case letter so if
the 'G'wget did not work the first time I think that I would have tried
'g'wget the second time.  ;-)
