Disclaimer. This is an Applescript which accounts for the primitive interface and slow execution

What is it and what does it do?
Let me paint a scenario.
You save a multipage article found on the Internet on your harddisk. As you read the article your webbrowser cannot find the pages because you saved them articles with names like "Macarticle1", "Macarticle2". Now any web browser worth it's salt saves the name of the original article in the Finder comments, you can see this by selecting a file and pressing Command-I in the Finder. This means the files can be renamed according to their remote names.

System requirements and installation
You need to have Applescript installed to run this program.
Installation is simple, just put the programs where you can find them.

Operation
Drop files downloaded from the Internet onto this program Rename by Html comment.
Answer the question that come up, (If you do not know what to answer, answer Add alias) and the files will be renamed (or have aliases added) according to how they were named on the remote server.
