Glad to hear it's working better. To make lynx blind friendly: 1.) Be sure you've enable the show_cursor setting. 2.) You may want to turn on "Links and Form Fields are numbered." While this last isn't strictly necessary, it certainly indicates what text is a hyperlink or form field, and it gives you another way to activate (or navigate to) hyperlinks and form fields. How? By typing the number on the qwerty and pressing enter. The other way is to tab and alt-tab, or just up and down arrow. These (and other settings) are in the 'o' for options menu. You may need help getting them set correctly the first time. Once cursor tracking is active, that menu is fairly easy to use. You can even make it easier by turning pop-offs off. All of these settings are also configurable at the command line, or in the .lynxrc or the global lynx.cfg files.
