Mike, Another excellent approach--thanks!
Unfortunately, I've now realized that lynx doesn't display some of the links that I'm interested in--I think because they may be generated by javascript (or java), so I now need to look for a text browser that runs those. I understand edbrowse might be able to do that, so I'll look into that.
