Hi Doug,

   I was using the Lynx text mode, novice mode when I looked at your page
which is how I knew that it flowed onto the second page.  The spacing
still gets inserted into the page in text mode even if it designed so that
the link itself is not visible.  We need a separate graphical page to sit
side-by-side with our text page and then have our login or http visitation
scripts do the redirecting.  I believe David Potter mentioned it could be
done this way.
