Thank you Leonid and Klaus for your queries/help.  The above statement
is not correct, and thus I have caused another false alarm.  Sorry. m(_ _)m

I was using dev.8 and dev.17 on different machines.  The option menu
seemed to be telling me the same thing, and I _thought_ lynx.cfg was
equivalent, but ...

The problem stems from having "ASSUME_UNREC_CHARSET:Transparent" in
lynx.cfg.  If that line is commented out or changed to "ASSUME_UNREC
_CHARSET:euc-jp", then the document is rendered correctly.  (On the
machine running dev.8, none of the ASSUME_ lines are in lynx.cfg.)

If set to Transparent, on the =)info page it says:
         Charset: iso-8859-1 (assumed).
If either of the latter two, on the =)info page it says:
         Charset: euc-jp (assumed).

Actually, now that the problem is pinned down, I guess it does?

Sorry, again.  From the options menu:
  Display character set            : [15][(10)_Japanese (EUC-JP)______________]
  Assumed document character set   : [17][(10)_euc-jp__________]
  CJK mode                         : [18][(2)__ON_]

I have no recollection of when or why "Transparent" got into my
lynx.cfg file.  "x-transparent" does not work, either, however.
I thought it might, since while the =)info page shows "Charset:
x-transparent (assumed)", the o)ption page shows "euc-jp".

I hope to be back on the list by Saturday.  If you need something
before then you'll have to cc.
