It's a good start, but it strikes me that your categories are too broad. :-)
I would suggest a front page listing various components of lynx or components
that lynx interacts with ("the lynx screen", "the lynx keyboard", "using lynx
on VMS", "bookmark files", etc). Items that fit in two categories ("the lynx
keyboard under VMS when viewing a bookmark file") would be linked to from 
menus under each of these categories. Isn't hypertext wonderful?

That would be great. Perhaps I can start by being more specific in 
suggestions for the front page. I'll work on that. I'll also work on 
"chapters" for the current documentation files included with the lynx 
distribution.
