I tried the above advice and couldn't get the URL to work. I find the best
solution is to follow the link yourself through lynx beginning with
"gopher://cerebus.acusd.edu/" and then follow the links to where you want
to be , thn hit "=" to see what the URL is. For example, in this case, the
correct URL is
gopher://cerebus.acusd.edu/00ftp%3apub%3aComics%3aInterviews%3aVincent%20Sullivan

ps %3a is a colon and separates gopher submenus
