I am embarrassed how long it took me to get Lynx running so I could experiment with this myself. I didn't even have to compile. I knew Unix twenty years ago in college and it made learning DOS a snap. My half remembered DOS habits now interfere with my re-learning Unix. I keep forgetting to pay attention to case or when spaces are required or not allowed...
Anyway, my post to Blinux was prompted by a post to the W3C WAI IG list. Cross-posting is a no-no and, not surprisingly, I have run into regulars there on this discussion group, but if one is interested in that thread, one can find it at URL:

I was thinking that Lynx could act like an old version of VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3, but apparently I made that part up. Nevertheless, Lynx CAN do a very nice job with large and complex data tables, but one will probably have to adjust the number of columns available for rendering.
