This *is* a good test of lynx.  I looked at the page with netscape and
found that he never intended it to be submitted.  He is using the form
elements in a new and creative way (even if it is wrong).  The textarea is
just an interesting presentation method for his text and the select boxes
are used just to hide the correct answers so you can guess.  A very
inventinve but odd use of HTML form tags.
