Darac's answer to answer to a previous question led me to try

which gave me the content I needed, but not in a convenient format.
I would like to pipe search results to a text processor.
Synaptic led me to "surfraw" and "w3m".
Documentation for "w3m" was more use user friendly, so I installed it.
Following a man page example I got:
richard@defaultinstall:~$ $ w3m -M http://w3m.sourceforge.net
bash: $: command not found
You don't need to include the '$ ' at the start of the command.
When someone presents a command in the form
$ command --options arguments /path/to/filename
or
# command --options arguments /path/to/filename
the $ or # represents the shell prompt; a shell prompt ending in '$'
typically represents a command being run as an ordinary user, and a
shell prompt ending in '#' typically represents one being run as the
root user. The reason for including these is so that when one is
presenting both commands and command output, it's clear at a glance
which lines are commands and which are not.
Strip those parts out of your command, and see what you get.
