Extra vertical space in Lynx and no > like action in Netscape. I agree that's stupid (as stated in a previous post to this thread). However, I suspect the problem is the actual HTML text file. I just tried this with a UNIX HTML document, and I didn't have a problem. MS-DOS uses <CR><LF> as an end of line character, UNIX is <LF>, and MacOS is <CR>. In the example above, it seems the <CR> was screwing it up. Get a text editor that's capable of saving it with <LF> as the end of line character, such as the vi emulator vim. -- Matt Corks, 1B Co-Op PMath, C.S. mvc...@uwaterloo.ca, http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/u/mvcorks "Millport is an island off the coast of Scotland.
