Downloading an url from pine.

Hi all.  Say you're reading a msg and pine lands you on a url.  Instead of 
viewing it, you wanna download the url.  Like if someone points you to 
something that will bring up realplayer directly and you wanna save it to 
a dot ram file.  Normally, I would do this from lynx with a d download, 
but, say if the site isn't up and can't connect, and you have to come back 
later, if you've done this from within a message, you are returned to 
pine.  So, especially if this is a long url, and you get to the point in 
pine where it says, view selected url?  You ;normally hit enter and go 
there, but I'd like to grab it to a file at this moment.
If you do an uppercase letter A for edit app, I see the viewer command 
but, I believe, the url is cleared out.  Is there a way to retain the url, 
since that's what you want to act upon?  And, if you go this route, what 
would you then add to all that to download the url??  Thanks.  Hope that 
made semse.
