I tried wyse-50 terminal emulation in ProcommPlus and noticed
that reverse and bold both came out as yellow, so it was impossible to
tell where the current link was on the page.  (Perhaps either procomm or

When I ran lynx -color, there was only one color (white) and a lot of what
looked like your "magic cookies" scattered across the screen.
