I got a sample procedure to extract a web page and save into a file.
It works as expected.
Now my question is, what procedure/function can I make use to extract
just a few information from the page.
E,g, the web page has a table like information, with some ads on the
side band. What I am interested is a value and a date in two cells
of a table.
Right now I just treat it as a text file and hunt a keyword which
should stay in the same line and read that figure. I don't think it
is safe enough and easily mis-hunt the figure if there is a slight
change of the web page.

If you need to use just an IHTMLDocument2 instance to do this instead of
TWebBrowser, let me know, I have code to do that, too.
