What happens if you press the letter g and then type in a uri such as: http://www.linux-speakup.org and press enter? Does the speakup web site home page come up? PS: Where is your cursor while you're in Lynx? Press the dot key on the numeric keypad to find out. The dot is the smaller key between insert/0 and the enter key on the numeric keypad. PSS: Is link numbering turned on in your lynx? Or do you just not like that? I ask because most blind lynx users prefer this, in my experience. Please tell us a little more. I am very sure we can turn you into a fan of lynx. On Wed, 4 Jul 2001, Ed Thurston wrote: > Hello all, > > I am very much a newbie!
