This is actually my concern, I read the messages from various members of 
this list but they did not address my concerns.  I know that the HTML is 
bad (don't look at me I did not write it (GRIN)!), but there are certain 
things that SHOULD work but do not.

1. The <A NAME=...> stuff with spaces SHOULD be OK (it works elsewhere 
   and on our Lynx).
2. The document seems to be cut off right near the end (as Kevin notes).

Am I correct in understanding that no one from the CSUITE team are 
getting these problems?

As I said: Hacked off.

It works for me (4.01).
