Is this because of the keystroke vs mouse click thing?
I've been using more and more console apps over the last few months and
generally find that programs like Mutt are sooo worth the initial
learning curve with regard my eyesight /and/ general ease of use.

I'd love it if you could send me (off list I think) any useful links on
this topic.

Yeah, I can imagine. Lynx is great but only really good for techy sites
and manuals and stuff. No idea about compatible office software, I use
Star Office in X but even that isn't /really/ compatible.

Take care
