Re: [gopher] Looking for a text-mode gopher client with certain features

Which is what's aptitude installed on my Debian system. I've also
tried Lynx. Both of these seem to work ok, but there are a few
features I'm not finding:

* Have the cursor stop at bottom&  top when scrolling through links or
   menus rather than jumping from the bottom to the top when scrolling
   down and jumping from the top to the bottom when scrolling up.

* Linewise scrolling -- when scrolling through a long page, the text
   jumps a full screenful at a time. I'd like the capability to scroll
   through pages a line at a time.

* Tab completion of directories when defining a filepath to save a
   file to, with an overwrite warning if the file already exists.

Would anyone know if it's possible to configure either of these
clients to behave as described? Or if there's another text-mode gopher
client that might be worth looking into?

I'm going to try to make one soon... The server I've been coding is pretty much feature-complete and I need a new project :-). BSD licence and plentiful comments mean that it should be easy to extend.

(actually, my Supa Sekrut Projekt(tm) is to make a VERY different touch-based gopher browser for mobile phones, but as that is a complicated problem to solve I think I'm just going to do a standard curses-based one first)
