> Would this make for a better links than elinks?

Run Borland Pascal 7.0 in dosbox to see what Turbo Vision was. Help system there is a nice browser, nither of today's lynx, links or elinks or whole www has. Pictures and flash are mostly spam, many don't know how to turn off.

dialog -> ncurses -> |stdout(ESC) -> tty -> vga_console |-> video RAM/frame buffer

shown concepts:
o `sh && sed && stty && dd` flexible patterns and no `find`, built-in `dd`
  are needed; mc, ncurses, readline are not
o key-vectors (tab is fixed origin)
o +,-,[,] keys - flexible UI config.
* tty backend needed: true windowing (move, overlap), stack-based coloring
  (easy multi-context highlighting).

Told ya, Al: where's your example of fixing your text editor?

Let's listen to silence again now...

Update:
`set -F[rnd:$(read_ethernet_now)]` -- another choice
( # if there's no that much network activity:
wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/another_kernel.tar.bz2 &
sleep "$seed"
set -F[rnd:$(read_ethernet_now)]
kill $!)

Better and less ugly key-navigation is possible, if key-release
event and no repeating will be available; application must decide what
to do with input and how to do it. Stupid repeat, don't know ways
to configure it: ESC?, stty?, kbd_rate?, putty?, /sysfs/wtf?, xset?,
KDE?, GNOME?; even `xev` shows it as "press+release", raw mode from
kernel/keyboard i suppose. Geee!!!

* default debian's "rootlogins: on" is bad;
* it's not easy to make multiple port sshds (dummy and real) due to bad /etc/init.d/ssh;
* i have login-only and work-sh-only accounts;

Best gameplay with:

while echo; do dd count=1; done 2>&- | sed -ne "
  `sed 's :q ^C g' <sokoban.sed`"

Before i will continue my anti-`make`, anti-kconfig/kbuild, i need you
to know about `sh` ideas. `sh` is power, integral part of UNIX. This is
the first and main userspace tool, as important as kernel itself. But
it has its legacy and design problems, as well as complete lack of
development in last 20 or so years.

After this comment about Jeremy's spam module for this site i think,
i have context to post some ideas about simple non-CPU, bandwidth
sucking, non GUI means of fighting cheap, non-human spam. I'm
stupid text-mode guy, thus:

* CSS obscurity (non-)captcha like for web
* To, In-reply-to, From, Message-id for SMTP/e-mail.

* another bug report (thread)
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.dash/36/focus=37
* another nice conversation with kernel hackers
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.file-systems/23151/focus=23160

the most simple shell `test` tool fail, yet they discuss case-insensitive renames, oh gee. Code part is raceless stripped linux-2.6/fs/open.c:sys_faccessat():

Important stuff. But it needs much more work, than linux kernel has and all useless GUI stuff does.

1) message after coding one smaller replacement of `test` in `dash`
2) message after yesterday's exercises with input, adds UI part.
3) side note about recurcive `make` and useless `make` itself.
