it seems like  2 or 3 times a week  we get empty messages of this type.
is there something in Lynx documentation which needs tightening up?
some people seem to be hitting the wrong key or sending for help
without realising what they need to do.

we are getting beginners' messages which are clear & need simple answers,
which seems to me perfectly ok.  i try to do my bit with the easy ones
to provide a brief answer if no-one else gets to them.  as i've argued
in the past, lynx-dev needs to be a lot more than just writing code.

but eliminating empty messages to the list would help everyone.
