I did not "build" this lynx -- address@hidden

The version is:

                     You have reached the Information Page
   
Lynx Version 2.7.1ac-0.105

the declarations of the global variables in lynx, then
a command could be written (easily?) to dump to an ascii
file (or the screen, ready for p-rinting), with them all.
