Title: What is Lynx, where is it, and how do I use it? Question: What is Lynx, where is it, and how do I use it? Answer: Lynx is a World Wide Web browser with a simple text interface you can use any time you're logged in to your Uniform Access computer account. Lynx helps you navigate the Web and provides keystroke commands to go to other Web sites, add bookmarks, etc., everything you might expect from a Web browser. It just doesn't display the images. To start Lynx, login to a Uniform Access computer, such as Homer or Dante, and press S to get to the shell environment. At the shell prompt enter the following Unix command: lynx Lynx initially connects to the UW Home Page. If you want to reach some other Web site, press the G key, for Goto URL, and Lynx will prompt you to enter the address. While using Lynx, the up and down arrow keys allow you to select different pieces of highlighted hypertext. (Hypertext creates links between different pages on the Web, making it easy to go from one page to another.) Pieces of hypertext are commonly called "links". The right arrow key follows the currently highlighted piece of hypertext. This might take you to a new Web page or a new location within the same page. Press the left arrow key go back to the previous location. When you're done, press Q to quit and enter "exit" at the shell prompt to log out. You can learn about other Lynx commands by pressing the ? key.
