Since ELinks does not support SOCKS proxy yet, you will need Privoxy
in order to use tor with ELinks. I think tor website has info about
Privoxy. You'll need something like this line in Privoxy config file:
forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
Then in ELinks you will use Privoxy (which in order will use Tor), as
follows:
Option manager->Protocols->HTTP->Proxy configuration->Host and port number
edit its value to be: localhost:8118.
8118 is the default port that Privoxy uses.
