While I suppose someone might have a reason for doing that, I cannot for the life of me imagine why on earth I might ever disable cookies smile.
I assure you cookies are  working with my setup.

hi karen.

 Let's say I am filling out a form.  I choose submit and then get...
 Warning! reloading document, any form entries will be lost.

if you have disabled cookies in lynx, this might happen when trying to
submit a form to a server that requires cookie information from your
browser to determine the server's behavior upon submission of the
form.

in the absence of cookie info, the server might redirect your browser
to the page containing the form, which lynx obediently reloads
(clearing the forms).

enable cookies and try again, and see if that doesn't produce more
satisfactory results.

does it?

hope this helps,
wes

 Hi folks,
 I actually have more than one question, but keeping them in different
 threads.
 I am helping a service troubleshoot their ability to work with lynx.
 Knowing this is their problem, not the fault of lynx, I am wondering just
 what the browser may be encountering when it is motivated to produce the
 following?

 99.99% of the time, indeed the form is empty.  once in a while though
 things are fine.
 what triggers this error in lynx?

 Thanks,
 Karen
