Do you mean this?

It's not really a web browser.  It downloads a web page, and displays it,
but does not interpret HTML, so isn't really a web browser.

I've thought about this -- but 5250 terminals don't work that much like
the terminals used by Unix, which would make it a pain to use if you
didn't redesign the interface :)


The whole question needs to be clarified, IMHO.   How exactly could you
run a web browser on a computer that doesn't have a monitor or keyboard?
If you consider 5250 terminals to be the monitor & keyboard, then you're
stuck with a non-graphical terminal which, like Lynx, would only SOME of
the web pages out there in any usable fashion.   If you're considering
a PC to be the monitor & keyboard, then why do you want the browser to
run on the iSeries?  Free browsers for PCs are EVERYWHERE...

If you're just looking to download using the HTTP protocol, then you don't
need a web browser -- if that's what the poster was looking for, I'd be
able to help:

But, unfortunately, the original post wasn't clear.
