Thanks for the tip. It's only been recently that I've taken an interest in seeking out lightweight software. (The inspiration for me is that I'm thinking of replacing an old worm-infested win95 OS on a friend of mine's P-200 32MB system. He's not computer literate, but all he does is e-mail and web, and I think maybe I can make it easy enough for him.) It does seem, however, that both 'links -g' and 'dillo' handle at least Google 'groups' frames in the same manner...at least the versions that I'm running. As I said, I actually kind of like this. It provides more horizontal space for the listings. Lot of times frames seem to be mainly a place for people to try to sell you junk anyway :) Links also seems to handle tables differently (or the one at the top of my home page is illegal to it or something.) Thanks, - Tom
