In lynx, the part of the Web page that is a link is highlighted. You use the up and down arrow keys to move between different links on a page, and the right arrow to select a link. The left arrow will return you to the WebPage you just left. This page presents some information about UCSB, and offers links to other Web Pages at UCSB, other UC campuses, and the world. And have fun exploring.
Lynx has extensive built in help information.
Just type H after you've started lynx to view various help files. Usually, if you are typing in a URL with the lynx command, you don't have to be concerned with what the portions mean. But keep in mind that the format of the URL is important.
