Thanks very much!  I KNEW I'd seen that somewhere...

I now have a working way to have Tab speak links in Lynx with JFW.  To
accomplish this, you need the following lines in LYNX.JCF in the JAWS
SETTINGSENU directory:

[OSM]
UseCustomHighlight=1
CustomHighlightTextColor=168000000
CustomHighlightColor=168168168

At least this works with the version of LYNX which I have.  More could be
done to improve access, like defining quiet frames and read-on-demand
frames; but this is a start.  It will be nice on machines with too little
memory to run Internet Explorer without requiring the user to wait for a
tree to grow four feet while a web page finds its way to the screen.
