user friendly browsers

[Janina Sajka]

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.
