Hmmm ... but still, if you have a web interface to SwissProt you must be 
able to get to the DR lines somehow ... which web interface?

Examples below use AMIC_PSEAE as the SwissProt ID.

You can get the full text entry, for example, from the EBI's SRS server 
as the "pretty" view where "Database cross-references" appear lower down:

http://srs.ebi.ac.uk/srsbin/cgi-bin/wgetz?-e+[SWISSPROT:'AMIC_PSEAE']

or as the original text entry with DR lines.

http://srs.ebi.ac.uk/srsbin/cgi-bin/wgetz?-page+EntryPage+-e+[SWISSPROT:AMIC_PSEAE]+-vn+2

If you have EMBOSS installed, you can define remote access through the 
EBI server, and use "entret" to see the full text entry. There are, of 
course, many other ways.

The Expasy server also gives you the cross references:

Hope that helps,
