Have you looked at w3m? It seems like a better Lynx than Lynx....

I'm amazed by how w3m can handle mouse clicks like that.  :)  Also pretty
great to be able to pipe stdin to it.  I wish it would keep stdin open like
more does, though, to feed it streaming data.  :)

I had a lot of problems getting the popup menus to work correctly, though...
they'd display for 1 zillionth of a second and then go away, so I could never
see what they said.  Looked like it had a Back function and some other goodies.

I'll 'afta go see if there's a new version of w3m -- the last one I got was
good enough to cause me to use it about 50% of the time compared to Lynx for
stuff I could do via text.
