Sorry, been getting my subsystems confused, Lynx doesn't do that, Pine
does that, version 3.95, built Nov 1 11:33:35 CST 1996.

Lynx is a fabulous way to cruise the WWW, version 2.6 allows you to turn
[INLINE] images into clickable links which causes the Download feature to
activate.  And no, Lynx doesn't render _any_ URL's unless they're properly
setup HTML, (bummer), but will display the text file as formatted and you
can always use the 'G'o command to manually enter the URL.  I tend to edit
the file beforehand and add the HTML coding myself, probably more effort
than using the 'G'o command, but has the added convience of not having to
reenter it at a later date. ;)

Oh, something else neat, I found that 2.6 retrieves .gz files,
uncompress's them, then display's them in their native format if it's a
recognizable format.  Found this by accident, I clicked on something I
think is called 'hacker_jargon.info.gz' and instead of retrieving it as a
application/zip, it did what it did above!  Neat!  Compress your HTML
files into .gz and save bandwidth!  (though I don't think this will become
a standard, no thanks to frames. UGH!)
