I have reviewed what I wrote in an earlier post (a few days ago) which was:

If you left-click on the chapter name you will get the actual chapter on 
the screen and when you then right-click the menu menu comes up where 
you Save As - but this will give you the same name for each of the 
chapters and you are given the choice of overwriting the file name or 
you can alter the name in the file name box.

On the other hand, if you RIGHT-click on the chapter name you are also 
presented with a menu but here when you go to Save As the file names are 
numbered sequentially. Mind you, you don't the full name of the chapter 
which is what you see on the URL page but you will get something like 
hpb_03.htm for the story HENRY AND THE BALANCE OF PROBABILITY. But you 
DO get the files correctly numbered.

In the second para I stated, "....but here when you go to Save As..."  I 
should have written " when you to go to Save *Link* *As* the file names 
are numbered sequentially. Sorry about that :-( .

Now, let me go over the above from the beginning.

When you get to the Home page of that URL where you see all the books on 
offer, you left-click (LC) on the book's name and you will be taken to a 
page where the book's chapters are shown.

On this page you righ-click (RC) on the Chapter you want and you will 
get a menu where you use Save Link As - and save the htm file to your 
folder. If you are saving, say, chapter 1 then the file will be called 
(say) 'abc1.htm''; when you go to save chapter 2 the file name will be 
incremented and will read 'abc2.htm'; and so on. I think that this is 
what you are really trying to achieve.

Just as an additional piece of "candy", if you want to call it that :-) 
, I use LIbreOffice (4.0.0.3) and because I am using KDE I have Dolphin 
as my file "manager". When I use Dolphin and RC on the 'abc1.htm' file I 
am given choices as to what I want to do with this file - and I chose 
Open with LibreOffice (the writer). The htm file is displayed perfectly 
- and I can save it in various formats. (I haven't tried printing it out 
though.)
