	I think the   same can  be  done without the  <tt>  tags.
	Take an  ASCII  frame centered, add an extra character in one of the
lines. The left side  of the frame will  be half space   to  left  and the
right side half space to  right.
	But I really  can't remember if  this works everytime.

	At least some versions  of lynx DO  support  the <center>
tag,   but  lynx was made to  work on xterm windows or VT emulation
terminals as well on those real old VT100, 200, 220, etc. And there's
no way you  can   put  half space  on one  of  those, they are  a matrix
of characters pre-positioned. The  centering is  done to  the  best fit.
