I've got a suggestion for DOSBOOK.  When viewing any page in DOSBOOK
if you move the cursor keys, they will move the cursor ANYWHERE on the
page, including where there is no text.  Since there is no use for the
cursor anywhere else but where there is text, it would be useful if
DOSBOOK limited cursor movement to valid hypertext links.  This would
be kindof like LYNX works.

I find it frustrating to move the cursor over to a word manually.
That is the same way that DESQview's screens worked too.  It doesn't
make much sense for it to work that way to me.  

Just a suggestion for an enhancement.
