I was browsing the Firefox extensions site last month and noticed that  
there's a add-on available that automatically loads the full-length  
articles on nytimes.com (ie loads longer articles in 'Single-Page  
Format' rather than the nytimes default, which is to show page one and  
then having me click & reload). I though, "Surely OW can do that too,  
and in less than the 5.1kb of the FF extension!" But then I couldn't  
come up with a way to do it.

Here's a sample URL for first page of a multi-page article:
	http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/07/arts/07sala.html
and here's the URL for the same article after choosing Single-Page  
Format:
	http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/07/arts/ 
07sala.html?pagewanted=all&position=

So what I'm wanting to do is simply to automatically append  
"?pagewanted=all&position=" to the end of all pages I request from  
nytimes.com. I can't get it to work as a OW Shortcut, because I'm  
clicking on article titles rather than typing them in.

Does anybody know of or have a way to do this? ("Switch to FireFox",  
while technically correct, is not a valid answer.) If there are any CSS  
gurus out there, is it something that I could do with CSS?

Further down the same track: I thought OW had a pref option to choose a  
custom style sheet, but I couldn't locate it just now in any of the  
pref panes. Maybe it's a Safari thing. Does OW have a default  CSS  
file; and if so, where is it kept?
