Re: lynx-dev Lynx assistance request

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

This isn't a bug; it's a feature!  Part of the usefulness of this is
that the browser will not take you somewhere against your will.  For
those of us using a speech synthesizer or braille display, we get
time to read what's on the splash page, then activate the refresh
link when we are ready to go on.  I don't think that this behavior is
configurable, although it might not be very hard for someone to add
this option.  When I encounter refreshes and redirects in IE 5.5 with
a screen reading program and speech synthesizer, I can hear clicks as
each pages starts loading, but can only read the final page. 
Sometiimes this is an advantage, but not always.  I like Lynx the way
it is; it gives you a better idea of what is going on behind the
scenes.
