lynx-dev Textarea notes

[Larry W. Virden]

1. I don't seem to be able to use my "E" key any longer to edit URLs in
lynx.  I thought that the EDITTEXTAREA was only going to be in effect 
within the text area.  And it is.  But outside the textarea the key
cannot still be used.  So the ability to edit URLs is now gone...

2. Re: my need to type ^V^VE to get a text area into an editor.
I don't know how much of my "^V" situation has to do with SPARC, Solaris 2.6
or screen 3.07.06beta .  My lynx was compiled on SPARC Solaris 2.6 using
Sun's c compiler and ncurses 4.2 patched thru last weekend.
Within lynx, I see these differences in my tty's terminal driver settings:

# Normal tty's stty -a value
speed 38400 baud;
rows = 30; columns = 80; ypixels = 0; xpixels = 0;
eucw 1:0:0:0, scrw 1:0:0:0
intr = ^c; quit = ^^; erase = ^?; kill = ^u;
eof = ^d; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>;
start = ^q; stop = ^s; susp = ^z; dsusp = ^y;
rprnt = ^r; flush = ^o; werase = ^w; lnext = ^v;
-parenb -parodd cs8 -cstopb -hupcl cread -clocal -loblk -crtscts -crtsxoff 
-parext
-ignbrk brkint ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl -iuclc
ixon -ixany -ixoff imaxbel
isig icanon -xcase echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh
-tostop echoctl -echoprt echoke -defecho -flusho -pendin iexten
opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel tab3

# stty -a value while lynx is running on the tty
speed 38400 baud;
rows = 30; columns = 80; ypixels = 0; xpixels = 0;
eucw 1:0:0:0, scrw 1:0:0:0
min = 1; time = 0;
intr = ^c; quit = ^^; erase = ^?; kill = ^u;
eof = ^a; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>;
start = ^q; stop = ^s; susp = ^z; dsusp = ^y;
rprnt = ^r; flush = ^o; werase = ^w; lnext = ^v;
-parenb -parodd cs8 -cstopb -hupcl cread -clocal -loblk -crtscts -crtsxoff 
-parext
-ignbrk brkint ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr -icrnl -iuclc
ixon -ixany -ixoff imaxbel
isig -icanon -xcase -echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh
-tostop echoctl -echoprt echoke -defecho -flusho -pendin iexten
opost -olcuc -onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel

Notice that for some reason, lynx is changing eof, not changing lnext, 
setting -icrnl, -icanon, -echo, -onlcr and removing tab3.
