    Wow, lynx. They still make that? Is it still a text only browser? Or has it been upgraded to gui? Can't help you. I remember playing around with it a bit in the early 90's...

    Lynx -- ie links with frames.

    I've played with a little that I time I destroyed x... what problems are you having? The best way to learn it is to play around and read the documentation, but if you want a fast and detailed response, you should post this question in the software section at http://linuxquestions.org. They know 1000x more than me...
