Hey thanks. I installed wget only to find I'm not allowed to execute
anything via apache ie: "exec ("someprogram..."); Sighhhhhhhhh.....

I got it to work by doing
curl to_prog.php
curl get_a.jpg
curl get_b.jpg
include "to_prog.php"

prog.php runs a pair of phplot scripts saving to a.jpg & b.jpg. Then
goes back and gets the 2 jpg's, then the include causes the 2 jpg's
to display. Anyway I've got what I was after. Tks again.
