Super-basic posting, and making Lynx work on Mac OS X

You can download a Mac OS X version of Lynx from OSXGNU, but on my system to make it work I had to run the installer, then go into the Mac OS X Terminal and type:

set path = ($path /usr/local/bin)

which I found on an errata page at the O'Reilly site. After that, typing lynx in the Terminal command line just works.

I promise my next post will not be about computers. Really.
