Links the chain

[Sean McMahon]

Someone last week said you can select the braille option under the terminal
options menu.  I don't see that option for links the chain.  I only see options
relating to frames.  I also can't navigate with links the chain.  arrows and tab
do not move throught links on a webpage.  What do I have that's so messed up
here?Is there a special version of links I should be looking for because this
thing doesn't work atall.
