Hello all,
I am very much a newbie! Around three months ago a friend set up this
Linux system for me and gave me some start up instructions. I am using
Speakup, SlackWare, Elm, Joe and Lynx. I am not sure of the versions of
any of the foregoing, but they were the latest available three months ago.
everything is going great so far except for Lynx.
Whenever I load it, I get some general instructions and several links.
After clicking on a link I go to the Lynx web site and they want me to down
load andinstall that particular program. However, I already have a lynx
program loaded and all I want is to get to it's command line so that I can
use the net.
Also After reading a manual on Lynx or rather a very long list of many
pages of commands, I am wondering if if there is a more user friendly web
browser? I heard somewhere about one called w3m, but don't know if it has
a version for Linux. does anyone have any information on it?
I would be very appreciative for any assistance anyone can give me.
Ed,

Hi Ed,
I think you just need some simple setup files
to make lynx work quite nicely.
I will email you a copy of a file I use.
It should be called either .lynxrc
or lynx.config
Depending on your version of lynx,
one of these names works and the other may not.
Stand by, and I'll send you that file.
Best of luck,
Larry

Hi Ann,
Many thanks for the additional info. I am really starting from scratch and
every bit helps. My friend who set up the computer was very pushed for
time and did a great installation,but ran out of time before showing me
many of the ropes.
Many thanks for the Speakup tutorial, you did a great job!
Till next time,
Ed,

Hi all,
Larry, you can't leave the poor guy in the cold like that. If you'll
pardon my "french" you got to give him the whole loaf not just half a
bagget.
Ed when you get his file up and running, start Lynx by typing the
following:
lynx http://linux-speakup.org
Or whatever site takes your fancy. You can get to additional links by
typing a g for go and entering the URL you want in the edit field.
Use the right and left arrows to go back and forward between pages.
Then, if you want to save a site to your bookmarks file, type an a.
If you want to download something, type a capital D on the link to the
thing you want to download.
Those commands should get you started. After you work with the big
cat a while, you'll discover it's really friendly and you can make it
purr.
Ann P.

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.

I don't think that he is aware of the cfg
file's exsistents, let alone how and what
to change in it to get
the desired behaivor.
I can't really help much here,
as I copied my already modified
lynx.cfg from the zipslack distro.

Hello Janina,
Wow! when one asks for help on this list, he or she really gets the red
carpet treatment.
as it turns out my biggest problem was that I did not know anything at all
about Lynx. Now thanks to all of the assistance I have received, I can at
least bring up lynx, go to a desired url, navigate around that web site, do
limited functions there and exit.
Yes, the g command does open an edit box to bring up another url, yes, the
links are numbered and the dot dot does give my position on the page as
well as the console I am working in.
I most gratefully thank you and all the other listers who have jump started
me into learning how to work with this big cat!
doubtless I will be calling on you and other listers for additional
assistance a bit farther down the road!
Till then
Ed,

Any time, Ed.
Just one quick point, when you press the dot on the numeric keypad, is it
giving you a position on screen that changes as you move up and down? In
other words, when you press tab, do you get different numbers than before
you pressed tab? In particular, it's not always saying something stupid
like "line 24, position 80," right?
This is my round about way of asking whether cursor tracking is enabled.
This is essential for blind friendly performance, and can be controlled
from the command line:

Hello Janina,
yes, I have checked withthe the dot button on sevral occasions and have
found the reading to be different so it seems to be functioning properly.
Thanks for calling this to my attention.
