Because the contents of the print menu page depends on the individual
user's configuration options (also the size of the page is passed down,
although given that the actual rendered page is implicit, this could 
also be implicit, for the links, but not the descriptive text).

Use \ to see the source.  It's done by having special internal protocol
types:

<head>
<title>Lynx Printing Options</title>
