improving the speach output of Links the chain?

[Tom Fowle]

Hi Karen,
If you're using dos, you must be using a dos screen reader. I think you want
an option like lynx's "show cursor" option which causes the browser to make
the system "hardware cursor" follow the browser's cursor.  This makes it
more likely your dos screen reader will be able to find the correct text to
speak.

Sorry I can't find a command line option in links that does that but 
perhaps my discription will guide you to it.
It's likely the option is in an option screen as it is in lynx's Alt-o

Hope this helps a bit
