        Yes, and the docs stress that the bookmark files should have
a .html suffix for that reason.  How can we set up a -force_read_docs
switch to apply to the Lynx users? :) :) :)

        In setting up the multi-bookmark support to work properly for
adds, deletes and reloads across different bookmark files, I had to
expand the anchor and document structures to include a bookmark element,
so now the main loop can check that and always force HTML handling for
bookmark files.
