Setup Issues

["Doug Young" <dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au>]

Would someone please tell me where to find info on the following .... can't
find
anything relevant in HOWTO's or MAN pages or that makes any sense to me

(1)   When I ping a remote site  ..... how to stop the stuff ??

(2)    When I try to get Lynx working, it initially seems like its looking
for the
        URL but then it stops and gives a "can't access startfile" message.
I found the
        "lynx.cfg" file but the MAN page is really confusing and there
doesn't appear
        to be any sort of HOWTO on lynx
