        It's nice, but I further modified it so that the -popup toggle
still works:

11-23-96
* Added the ability to store the NO_SELECT_POPUPS in the .lynxrc, but the
  .lynxrc must be edited manually until the options handling is converted
  to a form-like interface that accommodates more options.  For now, select
  "O"ptions and write out the options with ">" to create a block in .lynxrc
  with an explanation of the switch.  The switch is "select_popups" and
  can have the values of "on", "off", or nothing.  If nothing, the default
  set in userdefs.h or lynx.cfg will persist.  Otherwise, "on" will set use
  of popups and "off" will set use of radio buttons as the default.  The
  startup default always can be toggled via the -popup switch. - HL & FM
* Corrected a couple of typos in the help files. - HL
