Well if I've got to <configure it> how to use lynx/links then it's disapointing.

Now that I've got  a mental model of what it can do, I've adapted it to my
existing highly optimised system:

Snowy can show 
 = a list of feeds/[newsgroups]
 === a list of recent articles for each feed [headers]
 ===== and a line of text [more than USEnet]
 
 And at some stage, it shows the URL of 'the article [with its 
      list of comments]'.  Which I can paste to my file:
      snowysURLs.
      
 And a line in the existing when-on-line script:
   G12  snowysURLs  snowysAccumulation
 fetches everything in the background.
 
 Because `G12` means get-using-2-args:
via `lynx -dump...` each URL in snowysURLs
and append it to snowysAccumulation
and write the URL first: as a header;
and write a separating line: "<><><><><>"

What we need also is a procedure, where eg. curl
can fetch only the guts of a http, where eg. even 
universities and BBC's articles consists of an initial,
always repeated into/advertising crap, before any
material of value is given. 

The tricky part is <bypassing the crap> and still 
'syncronising the <brackets>' to get an html-parseble text.
