(sorry for the delay responding, I was out of town for an Intranet Seminar.)
The Calendar page (http://www.slcc.edu/calendar.html) is an example of using
a table with embeded <P> tags to make things come out well on Lynx. The one
with the <TAB> tags is the Lynx FAQ (at http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/).
The Calendar page has the advantage of letting you use <TABLE> to format for
GUI browsers, while letting you use more traditional formatting for Lynx. The
FAQ page won't pass verification because of the <TAB> tags, but lets you use
the <TAB> to force a table like representation. IMHO, <TAG> is better than
using to handle formatting of this type but the Calendar page approach
it probably more general, and definately easier to read.
