     Really, there does not seem to be any good reason to pay for a
Delphi account. The standard free account gets you access to chats,
games, and message bases plus you can have a web page and set up your
own forum. Evidently, Delphi is mainly supported by advertising,
anyway.

     One thing I've noticed is that, under Netscape, Delphi does not
accept a password entered via a RETURN at the end of your input. It
appears that RETURN is taken as part of your password entry-- for sure,
Delphi does not like it. Under Netscape, you need to type in just the
characters of your password and, then, click the button.

     So, under Lynx (or whatever) it looks like you would not want to
send Delphi a password string which terminates with a RETURN. Once you
have found a way to do this, perhaps, under Lynx, there is some code
which works the same as clicking the button under Netscape.

     Another idea is to get to the Delphi log-in under Netscape and set
"Save Password" to avoid having to enter it in the future when under
Lynx.
