Never used pinfo, thanks. I'll try it. You see, over time my browsers get
more primitive. I'm in the last trench now, it's curl and wget now :-)

Which reminds me, when using windowed character mode tools like these, it's
important to set the terminal type correctly in the Linux sessions
environment variables. But also make sure it lines up with the terminal
type in the terminal emulation software you may be using. Otherwise the
screen is soup.
