Does Arachne have any way to edit a link in a Web page? Lynx can directly edit a link with Shift-E. With Arachne, one can edit the whole Web page starting with F4. Any browser would permit downloading the Web page and then editing in a separate text editor. It might be necessary to specify <base href=(whatever), so that relative URLs don't cause the browser to look on the user's hard drive for what would be on the Web site. One thing I would like is to be able to take the URL from right to left and stop at the first (rightmost) http:// in cases like http://radio.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.sesac.com/web.htm I don't like the idea of either having to view a Web page in a subframe, as this type of URL results in, or being snooped on. About.com says the purpose is to make navigation easier, but it is simple enough to go back from an ordinary nonframed link, like in the above example http://www.sesac.com/web.htm. I believe About.com does this to snoop on users, getting data for marketing purposes. Sometimes a bug in a link makes it nonworkable, like missing dot before htm, or %%255E sequence, which is converted to %5E but no further. Or a link like http://newscenter.about.com?PM=51_1_T/ which is an invalid hostname, at least with Lynx. With Lynx, I can edit out the junk, %%255E becomes _, and I can strip out ?... where it is just useless freight. DOS Lynx 386, newest version, works better than Arachne or Netscape.
