:) What session data is actually present if you cannot go to the _start_
:) page? As I understand your comment, none of that applies.
I believe that the main point in the original message is that an error
like "page is not accesible, you made a mistake in your spelling", or so,
should not cause Lynx to quit. It is perfectly reasonable to allow lynx to
keep running and start with an empty page, or a page that displays an
error message. Of course this is a matter of programming choice. The
bottom line: writing the lynx command in the command line should cause
lynx to start under most circumstances. The exception should not be this
one.
