True. Hotmole used curl. (Wget is good too). Curl can even handle cookies,
both receiving and sending. The one thing it _can't_ do is create the 'link
list' which Lynx generates if you use the -dump option, i.e. put all the
hyperlinks in a list at the end of the document, strip out the html tags,
and put [n] in the text body to indicate where the hyperlink was... then "n.
http://abc.def.com" at the end.
