LYNX-DEV relative links with file:/

Hello!


With Lynx 2.5 running on a VAX with VMS 5.5 I have a problem:  When I 
access a URL via file:/ instead of http:// it works, but I can't select 
a relative link without getting an error telling me the document cannot 
be accessed.

The main reason I access with file:/ is when developing pages, since I 
can type e to edit and immediately see, after exiting the editor, the
changes I have made.  Usually, I edit several files and want to move 
between them, retaining the file:/ instead of http:// access mode.  For 
obvious reasons my pages have relative links between them.

With various versions of LYNX on an unix machine, I didn't have this 
problem.  Therefore I think it can be solved by changing something in my 
configuration.

file:/[st2f304.www.helbig]helbig.html shows up as 
file://localhost/[st2f304.www.helbig]helbig.html 
which might be part of the problem.  Adding the disk name makes no 
difference.


Thanks in advance,

Phillip Helbig
