9.12  WHEN THINGS GO WRONG


* You try to connect to a site, but get an error message along the lines 
of "ERROR 404 Not found - file doesn't exist or is read protected [even 
tried multi]"

Re-check the spelling of the site address you entered.  WWW addresses are 
case-sensitive, so that might be a problem, as well.  Hit your left arrow 
key, then g, then try entering the address again. It is also possible you 
did nothing wrong, but that the person in charge of maintaining the site 
either forgot to set the document so that outsiders could read it or 
deleted it without telling anybody.

* You know the URL is correct, but when you type it in and hit enter, you
get a "not available" message.

Sometimes, links just don't seem to work the first time.  Hit g and enter 
again and it may work the second time.

* You try to use g to get to a new site and nothing happens.

Lynx does not seem to let you go to sites from error-message pages and 
some other pages.  If that happens, hit your left arrow, then try again.

* You try to go to the next (or previous) hyperlink on a page, but are 
instead transported to an entirely different document. 

Chances are you tried to get to the next hyperlink by using your left or
right arrow keys, rather than your down or up keys (remember, this'll 
take some getting used to).  If you think you hit your right arrow key, 
now hit your left arrow key and you'll be brought back to the original 
page.  If you hit your left arrow key, go to your history page (by 
hitting your delete key) and then chose the appropriate page to which you 
want to return.
