just checked, and yes, that's the problem. I'm looking at the code now
to see what needs to be fixed...

The following patch against w3m-990928 fixes the problem for me.

The problem now is that it doesn't work correctly with links inside a 
frame - if you have two frames, and an <a href="foo"> in the left one,
going to that hyperlink should only replace the left hand pane, not the
right. And you can't scroll the frames independantly. But hey, it's a 
text mode browser. And it really is so much nicer for editing forms with
textareas in them...
