Hi Janina,
Hmmm, I never thought about bookmarking to get around frames--that's a
rather cool idea. In some cases auto-redirects do present lynx with
problems--though normally you can follow the link. Recently I have been
running into streams that won't play, they are normally called something
.clip. Any ideas what they might be?I'm fairly sure I could find
something that would play them if I only knew what they were.
