It worked with links.  This version will NOT run in BL2 because it 
requires BL3 X, and when I chrooted to BL3 and tried to run it things 
froze up (mouse clicks stopped working - this is common when chrooted 
using X).  First time I started X I was able to load links via the xterm 
and start to access gmail. I will try from straight BL3.

The arrows on my 84-key keyboard never work with jwm.

Links2 uses much less RAM than lynx

links or links2 - 0.1% (500K)
lynx 0.4%               (2MB)
elinks 1.0%             (5MB - not for low RAM systems)
