Why sleep or nice Mosaic? If the user wants to nice Mosaic, let them do it
themselves.... or did I miss something here? The sleep command would be
superfluous here, I think. To understand why I think this, read on:

I'd bet Chad put the sleep command in to allow the user to see his warning
message. Otherwise, lynx.real could (theoretically) start immediately after
the user invoked chad's script, and when lynx starts, it clears the
screen....
