Useful Lynxlet Features

Because Lynxlet is a standard browser application, it can be launched in the same ways as other browsers (like Safari, FireFox, IE, etc). In addition to being a web browser, Lynx supports browsing for many other network protocols (FTP, Gohper, Finger, etc) and Local directory browsing. The Lynxlet application supports these protocols wherever possible.
