Hi Zaltar,
I am happy to see that you are making progress...
The cat command is used to concatenate files together. In general, if you
use the cat command with only the filename you better use something else. In
your case, instead of 'cat filename | more', use 'more filename' or 'less
filename' (less is a newer version of more, offering more options).
To open a html file in lynx, simply add the filename as a parameter: 'lynx
/usr/wks/doc/readme.html'.
