an obvious quicky is: can you do ^z in a batch file to check the time?
but 2 more thoughts, which have come up before occasionally:
(1) how easy would it be to add a line to lynx.cfg to set the time allowed
before Lynx gives up on a site (incl a name look-up)?
(2) instead of the dummy cursor, couldn't the current time be displayed?
