-Startup File
-************
-
- Once you know how to change default settings of Wget through command
-line arguments, you may wish to make some of those settings permanent.
-You can do that in a convenient way by creating the Wget startup
-file--`.wgetrc'.
-
- Besides `.wgetrc' is the "main" initialization file, it is
-convenient to have a special facility for storing passwords. Thus Wget
-reads and interprets the contents of `$HOME/.netrc', if it finds it.
-You can find `.netrc' format in your system manuals.
-
- Wget reads `.wgetrc' upon startup, recognizing a limited set of
-commands.
