I just had another look at the document

http://www.freenet.mb.ca/docs/user/guide/index.html

and the version of Lynx I'm using on csuite.chebucto.ns.ca (Lynx Version
2.7ac-0.36) appears to be interpreting the name references _without
the spaces..._

When using advanced Lynx user mode... this appears on the "command
line" as...

http://www.freenet.mb.ca/docs/user/guide/index.html#HowtoConnecttoBlueS

rather than...

http://www.freenet.mb.ca/docs/user/guide/index.html#How to Connect to Blue

I think this is the problem and the question is whether we've introduced
this behaviour or whether this came to us this way...
