The originals are indeed written by the man. I just butchered his code, note 
I said butchered.  I have learned a lot from his stuff and reading some 
tutorials that I found at w3.org.

I have tried this and it does show the locations which is handy but as usual 
I cannot get it to display the images. I suspect that this is because it does 
it in a completely different manner than w3m. Given the choice between the 
two I am starting to prefer lynx. Lynx seems much tidier and as I learn the 
commands its getting a lot easier to use.

I have got that corrected now but I am unabe to load it up as gftp seems to 
not want to connect to BT. I am not sure that this is caused by the fact that 
I am using UKlinux to connect today rather than BT.

I have tried Mozilla and yes I cannot see the Contents frame either which is 
very odd and I am going to have a look around to see if I can see what is 
wrong but if anyone has any ideas that could point me in the correct 
direction then let me know.

On holiday for over two weeks and not sure if I should go on holiday or stay 
at home and play on the PC.
