What were you trying to do?

Use the "Give me the homepage for:" form 
at http://www.mit.edu:8001/home-pages.html

What's wrong:

lynx: I couldn't get it to do anything.
w3.el:  It always fetched the null homepage (i.e., "http://.../home?").

What should have happened:

In Mosaic or Netscape, hitting return after entering a username into the
field brings up that user's homepage.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

I don't know if the html of that page is actually correct.  

And yes, I know w3 (outland) bugs should go somewhere else; I was
just mentioning it for comparison.
