Profile for Reuters News Service
Attached is a profile to capture several of the feeds from Reuters. This proved to be fairly interesting to write. First of all the URL returned by web2lrf on this service only contained the file id. Took me a while to figure it out. Also they do not put up a file that is printer friendly so it was necessary to create code that would parse out the text from the display page. It was doable but it causes the program to be quite slow an apparently is quite cpu intensive. At least the cooling fan in my MacBook Pro runs quite a bit more than what would be its usual want.
in any event enjoy.

Reason: Fixed minor typo in the code "Emviroment" to "Environment"
