I'm quite sure it must be preloaded on computers now sold with Linux
installed...

To add to the list:
*) The HEAD key. (']').
*) Detailed interactive cookie interface. Control cookies individually
or by domain. Nothing going on behind your back (unless you want
that).
*) You can see exactly what's going on between the browsers and (say)
a Web server, using TRACE (^T) if necessary. What goes on at the HTTP
protocol level (headers etc.) doesn't need to be the mysterious secret
it seems to be to most HTML authors.
*) Built-in CGI interface (lynxcgi). Run CGI scripts without a web
server.
