Things I Wish
1. That gmail were Lynx-compatible.
2. That I knew how to refresh a page in Lynx. I’ve been poking and prodding for some time and still haven’t found it. If I update my journal once in Lynx, I have to close the whole damned thing and re-open (and re-log-in) in order to write another entry.
3. That the Lynx-LJ combo didn’t always barf on ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
kires‘ templates. “Infinite loop or database is busy” it says.
4. That I had figured out how to copy the URL from a link so that I could paste it into a regular browser real quick-like, so I can take a peek at a picture from time to time.
These are just a few. I gots a lots more wishes, but those are for different sorts of posts. Heh.

Oooh thanks! And bailiwick sounds like a dirty word, doesn’t it? *leer*
LOL! *kisses* I think the man just said RTFM!
Tbanks bunches honey. My Help menu key goes to a porn site. I dunno why. Fun, in a texty sort of way, but not really useful in Lynx tips.
Try w3m! It’s the only text-based browser I use now!
well it sounds like HELPFILE setting in lynx.cfg is set to default remote host
http://www.trill-home.com/lynx/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html
instead of as recommended (depending on install location and if it’s installed with help files)
the local copy normally would be in
file://localhost/usr/lib/lynx/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html.gz
and you’d change that by changing HELPFILE entry in lynx.cfg
normally in /usr/lib/lynx/lynx.cfg (well on slackware) other distros your milage may vary
you may just wanna copy lynx.cfg to your homefolder
edit it and use LYNX_CFG variable
as in
For instance, put in your .profile or .login:
LYNX_CFG=~/lynx.cfg; export LYNX_CFG
# setenv LYNX_CFG ~/lynx.cfg # in .login for [t]csh
just copy the whole thing, it does mean you
loose any changes admin makes to lynx cfg but generally speaking who cares about that? *ducks LARTS*

Thanks! I surely appreciate it.
