I'll expand on this.  I've written a script which invokes Lynx with the
startup file being a pipe.  Of course, any command which attempts to
refetch the source fails by returning an empty document.  Such commands
include, but may not be limited to '\' and '^R'.  Perhaps refetching
the source should be disabled when the URL is a special file.
