Yummy!

Same old gripe: why these <br>'s?  Why not do the whole thing in <pre>
if that is what you want?  For example,

isn't the following the same as above (assuming <pre> already opened)?

+ You can also use the Options Menu, as outlined below:
+
+      key  lynx.cfg       FM LM .lynxrc    variable in source
+ 
+        *  MAKE_LINKS_     Y  N       N    clickable_images
+        [  MAKE_PSEUDO_    Y  N       N    pseudo_inline_alts
+           VERBOSE_        Y  Y       Y    verbose_img
+ 
+ FM = new Form Menu ; LM = old List Menu ;
+ in  .lynxrc ,  VERBOSE_IMAGES  is called `verbose_images':
+ the other two cannot be saved between sessions.
+
+ In the Forms Menu, the 3-way `Show images' selection
+ combines the effects of the `*' & `[' keys, as follows:
+
+      Ignore      clickable_images = FALSE, pseudo_inline_alts = FALSE
+      As labels   clickable_images = FALSE, pseudo_inline_alts = TRUE
+      As links    clickable_images = TRUE,  pseudo_inline_alts = unchanged
+ </pre>

Also, with regard to above:

> + FM = new Form Menu ; LM = old List Menu ;

Suggest:  + FM = new Form Menu. LM = old List Menu.
          + In  .lynxrc,  VERBOSE_IMAGES  is called `verbose_images';

Need an article.

Just ignore me.  Your effort is appreciated.
