Links the chain

[Karen Lewellen]

Greetings larry,
  I too bid you welcome to the list.  I offer this difference  hoping that 
others will either confirm  or explain this fact.  I use a Linux shell 
that  has both the cat and the chain,  and given that some here have said 
that they should work almost exactly the same suspect that all that could 
be done to  the chain has perhaps not been done.  Still the main difference 
is the in  the chain edition one can access java sites, or can do some in 
a way.  I do come across some that do not budge regardless, but again this 
may be a configuration factor.
I am told that the cat even with ssl enabled now does not or <cannot?> 
have java incorporated because no one wants to take the time.    or better 
that it would take too much time to re-vamp the code for this.  I  am only 
sharing what I have been told, and would love to hear otherwise Given the 
popularity of the cat,  adding this feature would be  a wonderful thing, 
as even those  who might not seek it out on their own, using IE or 
Netscape know of the cat and think it far more limiting     than it 
actually is in 
real use.
   The chain is not as well known.
looking forward to the wisdom on this.
Karen

I have also noticed that W3m looks pretty good, and it has the cool feature of letting you use the arrow keys to navigate the document.  (It uses Tab to move from link to link.)
