+# How to use Lynx for Gopher
-If you want to help us, making this reality, follow the instructions below.
+## Lynx browser
-Please check out git://bitreich.org/gopher-tutorials and go on #bitreich-en on
-freenode, to send us the patch. All patches are welcome!
+Lynx is a customizable text-based web browser for use in a text mode
+environment. As of May 2017, it is the oldest web browser still in
+general use and active development, having started in 1992. Lynx can
+be used to browse html webpages as well as Gopher pages. Lynx does
+not support Javascript.
+
+Lynx used to be bundled in the standard installation of all the
+popular Linux distributions, but sadly this is no longer the case.
+So one probably first has to install the Lynx browser with the use
+of the package manager of your distribution, e.g.:
+
+ apt-get install lynx
+
+For customization simply press 'o' (options) within Lynx.
+
+Lynx supports the use of VI style keybinding and the use of Emacs
+style binding.
+
+## Using Lynx for Gopher
+
+To open a Gopher page in Lynx, simply call it with the proper URL,
+like:
+
+ lynx gopher://bitreich.org/0/tutorials/lynx-w3m.txt
+
+## Scrolling through an opened page
+
+When the visited page is longer than can be shown in the current
+screen, use the spacebar to scroll down.
+
+Some other useful keys:
+
+- Ctrl-A to jump to the top of the page.
+- Ctrl-E to jump to the end of the page.
+- ( to jump half a page up
+- ) to jump half a page down
+
+## Navigating
+
+In the standard configuration text is shown in the standard terminal
+colors, Gopherlinks are colored in green. The selected link is
+highlighted. Use the up and down cursor arrow keys on the keyboard
+to select to a link. and use the Enter key or the right cursor arrow
+key to follow the link.
+
+When following a link takes a long time, the request can be
+cancelled with 'z'.
+
+The left and right cursor arrow keys are used to navigate in through
+history. The left cursor arrow key moves to the previous opened
+page, the right cursor arrow key follows the current link.
+
+With VI keybinding configured, one can also use the H,J,K, or L key
+like the cursor arrow keys.
+
+- Use 'g' to enter and follow a new URL.
+- Use 'G' ( shift-G ) to edit the current URL and follow the edited URL.
+- Use '=' to show the current URL and some meta data.
+
+## Downloading data
+
+When followin a Gopherlink to a non-text element, f.e. a binary or
+an image, Lynx offers two choices: D)ownload or C)ancel. Use 'c' to
+cancel or 'd' to start the download. When the download has finished,
+choose 'Save to disk' to enter a filename for the downloaded file.
+Downloads in progress can be cancelled with 'z'.
+
+## See the documentation
+
+Lynx offers much more functionality than described here, mostly for
+browsing html-pages. See the documentation for more.
