I'd be happy to, since I do have Lynx installed.  But I can't quite figure
out where this line should go.  It seems to me this presumes some file has
been written of the formerly compressed manpage (like, in /tmp), but I
thought we were trying to excise that step.  Can you enlighten me about
where somepage.html is located, or what steps need to be taken to create
it so it can be cat'd, then piped through lynx -stdin?  I'm still a bit
confused :(
