Works OK with Lynx version 2.5FM running under OpenVMS 6.2. I wasn't using
Windows Terminal but I don't think that that would be the problem. The page
referenced by URL http://www.umn.edu/mhec contains some Java script which Lynx
should just ignore but that's probably version dependant. Do you know which
version of Lynx you're using? (You can find out by starting up Lynx and then
pressing the '=' key.)
