I'll see what that does, thanks.

I want the interactive lynx session - -dump just dumps and exits,
right? Example: onlinemag.com sends out a periodic mailing with
a bunch of blurbs and URLs for its new articles. I "open the
email" in lynx and use that page as a base/index to surf the
references. A lot of these places will send out the newsletter
in HTML form, but I'm a little leary of what they might consider
good mark-up practice, etc. The marked up plain-text version I
get my way seems the most efficient for me.
Also works well on lynx-dev:
"I go to <http://somepage> and do this and then that, and then
the screen looks like this. Why?" gives a link to the problem
page and a description of the problem to flip back and forth to.
