I see. In my case then, I'm currently only using lynx for conversion of html to text as well. I imagine I don't really have a need for browsing on the same machine at this time.

What in the world is this?! I believe this is the first time Google translate has failed me (and I've thrown quite a bit at it). It detected it as English, but didn't translate it (left it as English with no change). So I had to use a bit of Google-fu to find out it's part of an Old English poem that translates to: "that passed over, so may this."

Regards,
Nick
