Well...  It's easy for you, because you're an intelligent, sensate
human being able to make an educated guess.  But teaching a program
how to wing it...

Wish I had time to learn a real programming language, so I could
write some sort of quick-&-dirty JS parser/filter for Lynx [a separate
program, called as a DOWNLOADER, maybe].  Hmm, wishing I had no
*real* life to deal with?  Yeah, guess so...
