Making the wording true and explicit will not complicate things.

This situation needs to be corrected. First we need to come up with
a name. Unfortunately, somewhere I misplaced Philip's suggestion.
(If you remember, would you send me synopsis of what you posted before,
Philip?) Anyway, after sleeping on it, I tend to favor Klaus's
proposal of "forms-based Option Menu" and "fixed-fields Option Menu."
If there is general agreement, I'll begin slowly with the docs in
the top-level directory, INSTALLATION and lynx.cfg. Later I'll get
to lynx_help/Lynx_users_guide.html. All relevant files under src/
and the configure script I would leave to you or other developers
(except perhaps for gettexted strings). I see nothing wrong with it
being an on-going, months-long process.

PS This is off-topic, but since I'm not sure of myself, I'll just
tack it on here in case someone cares to respond. There is the
command line option -validate. Does this block all of Lynx's
internal URLs? The option is advertised as "accept only http URLs",
so IMO -validate should not allow any internal URLs, unless the
documentation is revised. I would naturally, as a non-developer,
assume that -validate means that the forms-based Options Menu would
not work.
