Check out those projects' pages for yourself:
The Expect home page is: http://expect.nist.gov
The Expect FAQ is: http://expect.nist.gov/FAQ.html
Linkname: The Kermit Project - Columbia University
URL: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/
Both would require some time to learn their scripting language.

In the INSTALLATION file that comes with the Lynx source.

I thought you wanted a scripting solution as a user, not as
a page author?
Anyway, check the lynx-dev archives for recent months,
<http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/>, for other messages
regarding to scripting.
