George,

	It's nice to see someone who refers to himself as a "noob" *not* 
top-post (unlike some of the helpful responses).  That said, my 
favorite CLI tool for grabbing files off the net is wget.  To download 
something off the web, just type at the prompt:
$wget http://www.sharplabs.com:8668/space/Configuration+of+XF86Config

	There are many other interesting things you can do with wget, just 
read the man page (>man wget).  And should my memory have totally 
failed me and ydl *doesn't* ship with wget, try curl.  They perform the 
same basic functions using different flags and most distros include one 
or the other in the base install...

hth,
