I have been using wyse60 successfully with lynx, after modifying the
termcap and terminfo files. You can play with this as you wish. I have
it stay with the more intense display as the default, using "dim" as the
bold attribute. To do this, set the following in your wyse60 termcap:
so=\EG4:mr=\EG4:md=\EGt:
In your terminfo description set:
bold=\EGt,rev=\EG4,smso=\EG4,
Either adjust sgr to these settings, or remove the sgr capability.
Don't forget that the terminfo description needs to be compiled before
you can use it.

If anyone wishes, I can post the termcap and terminfo files that I use
for wy60 with lynx. The bold settings don't come with the standard wy60
termcap/terminfo - you have to add them in yourself.
