You are correct, sir; that is precisely what it does. :-)

Right now I have rows and columns as script properties; I'm thinking 
of maybe having a preferences file to store such settings, and trying 
to decide what to set for the window title (maybe "lynx" plus cols x 
rows?).

That's what I usually do too, for non-OSX systems (cuz I'm usually 
wanting to visit the site in Lynx). My sister doesn't understand why 
it makes me happy to have Lynx as my default Mac browser, hehehehe.
