lynx-dev horizontal scrolling stuff

[mattack]

Idea about the "scrolling horizontally" problem...  You know, the fact
that tables and sometimes other stuff don't look good at 80 columns... and how
it would be good to see things in a wider format even though the boneheads
who made the sites aren't using HTML as it was intended..


Anyhow..  looking at the less man page, it supports horizontal scrolling.

So, wouldn't a relatively simple/hackish way to implement part of the fix
(fixing the actual display of the tables elsewhere) be something along
these lines:

o)  Have a "virtual width" of the screen.. possibly set by default as a
command-line option, but it seems to me would be best to at least optionally
set this at runtime [at HTML-interpretation time, really] so it can be made
wider for big tables..
o)  Then when Lynx "pages" the output, have a functionality similar to 
less' horizontal scrolling..  Heck, even get the source to less to figure out
how they do it if necessary.
