NAME
       w3m - a text based Web browser and pager

SYNOPSIS
       w3m [options] [URL or filename]

       Use  "w3m  -h"  to  display  a  complete	 list  of current
       options.

DESCRIPTION
       w3m is a World Wide Web (WWW) text based	 client.  It  has
       English and Japanese help files and an option menu and can
       be configured to use  either  language.	It  will  display
       hypertext  markup  language  (HTML)  documents  containing
       links to files residing on the local system,  as	 well  as
       files  residing	on  remote  systems.  It can display HTML
       tables and frames.  In addition,	 it  can  be  used  as	a
       "pager" in much the same manner as "more" or "less".  Cur-
       rent versions of w3m run on Unix (Solaris,  SunOS,  HP-UX,
       Linux,  FreeBSD,	 and  EWS4800)	and  on Microsoft Windows
