All the more reason for trying to use "the proxy, download, or external
options already available", if you feel that way.

I am still bewildered that not more people are trying the scripts
in the TABLES section in

   Linkname: Patches and plugins for Lynx
        URL: http://www.crl.com/%7Esubir/lynx/patches.html

This indicates to me that there isn't THAT much SERIOUS demand for table
support.
