Lynx and Gopher clients are both available, the problem is porting certain of
the client functionality to MPE.  I've played around with tweaking both with
limited success.  Here are a few considerations:
 
Both have a "save" function which indeed works, but it saves a Posix-named
file that the user may not expect.  I tweaked the gopher client's "download"
function (tied to Forsberg's Un*x X/Y/Zmodem module) to use Reflection's
file transfer, but you have to deal with Posix-named files here as well since
the working files are in /tmp.  You have to setup Reflection for Posix file
transfer, and in this case Reflection will use /SYS/PUB/PCLINK2 as the host
startup command (assuming user in shell) which doesn't work currently under
the 5.0 push if the user is in CI (implied XEQ can't be a Posix-named file).
 
Then we have the "mail" facility in the gopher client...
 
We're real close, but still no cigar.
