        Those two keys in the six key cluster are properly named
"Find" and "Select", not "Home" and "End" as on the IBM enhanced
keyboards, and perhaps you have a reversal of Find and Select
somewhere, such that you need to re-reverse in Lynx.  Note that
what is labelled "Delete" in that cluster on IBM enhanced keyboards
is properly labeled "Remove".  (By "proper" I mean the formal VTxxx
names, and the corresponding labeling on the DEC LK250 keyboards
which originally used them via ^[[1~ - ^[[6~ sequences.  Note also
that the IBM "<-Backspace" is the VTxxx "Delete", in contrast to
"Remove", and both are different from Control-H.)
