Navigation is performed using your keyboard's arrow keys and +optionally, a mouse. While it lacks many features that other browsers +support, <application>lynx</application> is one of the fastest web +browsers you'll ever use for gathering information. For example, the +<arg>-dump</arg> argument sends the formatted web page directly to the +console, which can then be piped to other programs. +</para> + +<para> +PIC OF LYNX IN ACTION. +FILL THIS IN!!!!!!! +FILL THIS IN!!!!!!! +FILL THIS IN!!!!!!! +FILL THIS IN!!!!!!! +FILL THIS IN!!!!!!! +FILL THIS IN!!!!!!! +FILL THIS IN!!!!!!! +FILL THIS IN!!!!!!! </para> </section> +<section><title>links</title> + +<para> +A more feature-rich alternative is the popular +<application>links</application>(1), a console-based web browser that +supports frames and has better table rendering than +<application>lynx</application>.
