Do a man for script (man script). It is not a script in the sense of a bash script, but is a script in the sense of a transcript. That is: it records everything that happens on screen. The "m" you were talking about, has an up-arrow before it (turn on punctuation when reading those kinds of things). A control M, or uparrow M ("^m"), is the control character, or printable form, of a carrage return. Lynx will add the slash if you don't, when it rewrites the URL. Also, no need for jumpfiles or bookmarks: doing "lynx google", will cause lynx to rewrite the URL as "google", and when that fails: "http://google", then: "http://google.com". That works, and the remote httpd server, has it reform the URL via redirection, to "http://www.google.com". The web server then, I believe (may have the order screwed up here), because everything is a directory other than files, requires lynx to, which it does, add a slash.
