One other warning, a few sites use the agent to present different markup
depending on the browser, i.e. non-table, non-frame text if it sees lynx,
and superfancy for MSIE and Netscape.  If some site appears to only now be
using a lot of features lynx does not support, try setting (witout saving)
the useragent back to Lynx.
