Actually, this is one step, i.e., mailing to someone is a P)rint option.
It does work and is a default setting for the P)rint option menu. However,
that option could be turned off by the operators of the public-access Lynx
you are using. (Remember, you are using their server and their mailing
device.) Using the "[2]Mail the file" P)rint option, you can _approximate_
downloading by pressing "\" to *render* the source, and then mail that to
yourself.
I just added the "lpansi" routine to Lynx internally; there should be no
need for people to block that on anonymous accounts; so if it is integrated
into the development code set, there will be one more way for people to
easily get material off the Web using "borrowed" or "shared" Lynx's.

Is it not possible to ppp directly, and get rid of the telnet step?
