  Actually, I think the problem is that you've not entered the
protocol & path.  For instance, if I want to read:

/home/httpd/html/manual/index.html

I'd enter either at command line w3m
file:///home/httpd/html/manual/index.html

or in w3m, hit G for goto, & enter the same path.  Just tell it
if you're looking for & where it is as you would a page on the
Web.
