That's a good idea, if the way the warning hooks are implemented
allows it.

That's a disappointingly weak and evasive answer.  You might at least
have engaged the case where BROWSER={lynx,links} so your HTML display
comes up in the same window as 'man' was typed.  Since you didn't, and
you have repeatedly demonstrated that you are not stupid, I guess this 
conversation has reached a point where you are simply refusing to think. 
I find that a shame.
