Well I have seen color support in Lynx, in a hacked version of 2.4.2-FM that is used on GEnie (I suppose they haven't upgraded because then they'd have to re-hack it). You can run Lynx in "color mode" on Genie, and then default colors are used for hyperlinks, selected links, etc. This proves that it is possible -- I just want to be able to specify text colors myself (as an author). I think this is reasonable. -Walter
