Hi again, Sorry to waste bandwidth with this :-( I've now figured that I should have used http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:8000/" for Lynx to work with the proxy, wget doesn't seem to mind but Lynx is more fussy. I'm not sure if it's just that I wasn't looking properly but the documentation didn't seem very clear. Perhaps it's just me? I found the answer in the lynx.cfg file which had the proper layout for the proxy name. Once again sorry. -- Andy Holmes
