Agreed... initially GUI's are normally easier to learn than than a
text-only user intervace, but I find that text-only is a quicker and
easier way in the long run!  IMHO of course!  :)

Alynx is even beginning to support HTML level 3 tags and the
bastardized^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HNetscape version!  ;-)

I believe you can do this with Xanim, although it's not the fastest
MPEG player:

Make an environmental variable: env:x11/usepub containing the word
"Workbench".  Then when you run Xanim it will still ask for a
screenmode, but display the anim on the WB screen regardless.  You
may need to play with the -Sh and -Sv paramaters to scale the
horizontal or vertical size respectively, or the -Ss to scale both at
once.

eg. xanim -Ss1.5 foo.mpg

displays foo.mpg at 1.5x it's original size.

(Note that options should come before the filename).

BTW, if *anyone* can get QuickTime movies to download reliably from
the WWW, please let me know as I have problems with most of them!
(Usually aborts transfer or even hangs my modem up, close to the end
of the file, or if it gets the whole thing it's corrupt).
