If we may use an url such as mim::something.html, which would normally be a
file:// there would be some basic functionality I think?

HECnetters,
Is anyone interested in using Lynx on HECnet?
Using node names in the url is not possible; some information is here:

On my Alpha with VMS 6.1, I'm able to compile Lynx version 2.3.
It seems that the latest version, 2.8.7, does not compile under VMS 8.3.
Perhaps I'm going to have a look at the old sources; perhaps I'm going
to do something more useful...
Well, the basic "problem" is that there is no http object defined in
DECnet, nor any equivalent to the http protocol, so how would you expect
it to work?
DECnet is not IP, nor TCP.
