I seriously doubt that; unfortunately, the best thing I've seen for cookie handling (and about a dozen other things) I've run into doesn't run on PC hardware. I use w3m pretty much the same way you use lynx. I switched when the lynx port was marked broken for security reasons. w3m has two advantages over the lynx I was using at the time: 1) table & frame rendering is better; 2) it has three external browsers. So I have one that launches an xterm running w3m like you do; one that launches netscape, and one that adds the link to my hotlist. The downside - no numbered links :-(. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
