4.2.2 Navigating the Web page using the Lynx text-based browser
To start the Lynx text-based browser, at the gryphon# prompt type lynx localhost -- next the
browser will then display the Gryphon Web page (see section 4.1).
The Lynx text-based browser is manipulated through keystrokes. Text at the bottom of the screen
prompts you for information and provides hints for manipulating the browser. Type K for the
keystroke command list. (In order to invoke changes or commands, you may occasionally need to
refresh the browser by hitting CTRL-R.)
The Web page, with its four areas for viewing (System Administration, Modules/Pinouts,
Channels/Stats, and Dearborn Group), appears as shown below.
