hi,
referencing two posts in my answer.
First, I will make a guess that you do not understand what it means
navigating with speech, by which I mean a screen reader.
While other populations do this too, those with some learning
disabilities for example, in my case, it means that I cannot use a
mouse...at all
One needs more vision then I have to manipulate one, and generally
screen readers do not require them. some do not even need a monitor.
therefore, I am at a loss as to what connection asking for mouse
functions has to my use of Links with speech, and without vision.
As for the basic HTML gmail solution you suggest, exporting cookies
from another browser to use with links for dos, may I ask where you
found a DOS edition of Firefox or explorer?
This is a DOS forum after all, so I suppose your solution has
grounding in dOs tools only?
Lastly, and I will raise this question with him, given the importance
of cookies at some major sites, amazon for example, why does Links
For Dos not have a way to save them?
That they disappear sort of makes establishing a regular presence
with your browser and a place where you do business sort of a
problem. I personally have access to LINKS, on a Ubuntu shell service,
and recall a cookie method of saving in that edition...but may be
wrong. so, ask about your own mouse wheel, I would rather have
cookies, and know why there is a braille terminal in the configuration
area along with how that relates to speech, than use a mouse.

Although I'll ask him about the wheel support. :)
