What's wrong with Lynx as a WWW client?  I found this in conf.h while
installing the VMS Gopher Client 2.06:

   "Lynx is a Curses-based HTML browser, available from
    ftp2.cc.ukans.edu, which was initially designed to use
    Gopher as its server and still works well with this
    software (on both VMS and Unix platforms)."

Get version 2.0.10 and VMS_WWWlib.zip from this site.  Customize the
appropriate header files for your site, customize and build wwwlib,
modify the appropriate descrip.mms (or build.com) to point at wwwlib,
and build then build the whole thing.  Detailed instructions are
included, but it took me a while to figure out so I thought I'd give
you a quick overview.  Lynx runs as a stand-alone or can be called
from Gopher Client 2.06 to read HTML links.

Ben.
