did you read the lynx help? if you had, you would have seen an option called -source lynx -source is what you want. obviously you will get the output on the screen. any process that writes to your disk without your knowledge shouldn't be trusted. of course, you only need the output on screen. from there you can redirect it to anywhere you want. you know how to do that. -- HOST SYSTEM NOT RESPONDING, PROBABLY DOWN. DO YOU WANT TO WAIT? (Y/N) _______________________________________________ http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
