   Figured I'd jump in.  I like that Lynx only renders to the width of 
   the display and doesn't expect you to scroll from side-to-side.  It
   also (since it doesn't attempt to render the frames) allows you the
   option of picking out which frame you wish to view.

   Lastly, although I never got around to including this code, someone
   had patchs that linked Lynx to Screen so that you could open a link
   into a new screen ... and since I'm one of those junkies who has an
   average of 15 netscape windows open at any time (and finds himself
   cursing profusely when the browser crashes) this was a feature I'd
   always found interesting.
