Looking at it in vim I note that the total line length is 74 columns which doesn't leave much for adding line/box drawing characters.  64 seems like a good default given the typical 80 column x 24 line terminals assuming that your sticking with the 7 column indentation.  Is that the basic plan?

I did a 'lynx -dump gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/gopher/toybox' which replicates what you posted ... and then some.  As for fetching files from a gopher server, curl works.

Life is good,
Maurice
