Ah. The crux of the matter. Enabling people to use Java so they can hack
into these JAVA-LYNX sites easier. Dude, a sysadmin who would allow any
sort of Java-based code they didn't write themselves to run under a
Java-based Lynx server is a total idiot. You can bet on the fact that if
there ever was a Java-based version of lynx, the first thing that would be
disabled on 99.999% of the sites and personal PC's running it would be the
ablility to run external Java-based scripts like those found on WWW pages.
So in the end all you would end up with is a version of Lynx that still
won't support Java even though it's written in Java....
