Sorry to clarify.
"More history" means the complete history of more articles.
I am using a tool called "historyflow" that can read html so let me try the HTML solution.
Thanksso much.

What do you mean "more history"? Once you have the complete history of the three articles, what more is there? :)
Is there a way to ftp the file?
Depending on what the articles are and how many histories there are, you could try something like viewing the first 500 entries in the history in a browser, then telling a program like Getright to download all the links. Depends what format you want the diffs (well, complete articles) in exactly. With a bit of fiddling you could probably generate all the URLs you need...
I was thinking about making a GreaseMonkey script to make this easier, but never did it. Sorry!
I can't get either single article histories or the whole thing and I am
at a
loss. This should be much easier than this, so I think I am missing something.
Don't think so.
