yes, i appreciate your detailed reply & will store it in my archives,
but it's far too complicated to expect an ordinary user to employ.
also, i would have to install Screen on my system, adding to bloat there.

i suspect that what i propose for Lynx would be feasible & not difficult,
so i still advocate it, if anyone has the time & interest to do the coding.
