"""Example code for querying Entrez and saving the results.

This code is meant to go with the 'Connecting with biological databases'
section of the Tutorial demonstrates Entrez connectivity.

See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/linking.html for
more help understanding the parameters passed.

This also requires a web browser to run -- either netscape or lynx
are supported in this example."""
