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 :-) -- snail | snail@careless.net.au | http://www.careless.net.au/~snail/ I'm a man of my word. In the end, that's all there is. - Avon
