cannot go to google search results with lynx

[Karen Lewellen]

Yes, I know we are talking about lynx.  The situation is that the same 
sort of issues with google searches in Lynx, also apply if one wants to 
read  your basic html in lynx as well.
For the record, your work around does not  produce link numbers in 
searches.  the control v option can produce links, just no longer 
numbered.
