Using node names in the url is not possible; some information is here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lynx-dev/1997-01/msg00057.html On my Alpha with VMS 6.1, I'm able to compile Lynx version 2.3. It seems that the latest version, 2.8.7, does not compile under VMS 8.3. Perhaps I'm going to have a look at the old sources; perhaps I'm going to do something more useful... Well, the basic "problem" is that there is no http object defined in DECnet, nor any equivalent to the http protocol, so how would you expect it to work? DECnet is not IP, nor TCP. Johnny
