I use elvis. It is very lightweight, makes a great local html browser for
everything except images. It also happens to make a great editor...
Install elvis, and then to browse html, you type: 'vi index.html' to follow
a link, you move or tab to the link and hit enter. I agree though...
Netscape is a bloated hog, and though it is good for certain things,
reading local html docs is DEFINATLY not one of them.
