Well, it works fine with lynx; I can skip forward and back (with local
files) and all that works fine.  I just type 'q' and control goes right
back to lynx like it should.  For whatever reason, I can't get that to
work with elinks.  I think elinks keeps keyboard control but won't
respond til mplayer or zinf is killed.  I generally had to kill it from
an adjacent consol to get things moving again.
