Lynx is a text-only program, although in many situations it can call 
other applications that use graphics or sound.  Although Lynx will 
not work inside Windows 3.1 or in a DOS box under 3.1, Lynx/386 or 
Bobcat can be used on a 3.1 computer by shutting down Windows and 
running it from the DOS prompt.   

I am a blind person, and use Lynx/386 over a token-ring network; it 
runs rings around the Windows 3.1 browsers for speed and clarity of 
presentation.

Feel free to ask more questions.
