Can somebody clue me in on what someone was trying to do here?

Is this just someone trying to copy my file on to Front Page and/or Office?

Thanks,

I do believe someone is using the Import website feature in FP. We FP users can download an entire site using an Import command within FP.

Thanks pageoneresults. Didn't know it was possible to copy and entire site with FP, that's interesting. In my case it looks like someone was going to a lot of extra trouble to copy a simple text page (a funny story). Perhaps they haven't heard of copy and paste.

Still scratching head,
Blair
