(A whole bunch of stuff about gopher vs. www, that I don't wish to comment
on.)

support forms. I am not convinced that lynx offers a better user
interface than curses-based gopher, but if you would like to give it a try,
It is available for a number of Unix platforms and VMS at ftp.wustl.edu in
/packages/www/lynx/lynx2-0-12. Also the next version of Mosaic for the Mac
(2.0, not released yet!) will include forms support. The folks at NCSA
claim that they are working on it.
