Mike,
  Why not just use LYNX? Create a file in your home direcotry, call it test.
Use the set options function, O, select bookmark file name, press B, 
delete the name that's in there and use test. Save the settings file, 
press >, and save write the file. Then go back on LYNX and jump around 
whenever you see a site you like press A which will save the URL into the 
test file you created. If you jump back to where you saved it from and 
press P for posting and select save to file you'll have the you jumped 
from as well. When finished cut and past to create the home page and send 
them. This will allow users to jump around and is a pretty fast way of 
building up the page.
