Yep. Given that lynx assumes a vt100 setup IIRC, it can't do much in
terms of screen display, however it does at least give you access to
the information. I think it's a compromise that works quite well. The
main difficulty I come across is working out which frame has the links
and which has the information. This usually occurs when pages are
named: frame01.html, frame02.html, etc. 

I believe Lynx also supports some imagemaps as well...been a while since
I last read the features list. On the other hand when some javascript
is trying to open multiple windows, Lynx ignores it, which I think is
a bit of a blessing :-)
