-- i'm using 2-6 (compiled successfully by me) with SGI UNIX IRIX 5.3 .
   this happened once before.  i just repeated it as a test:
   with  21  bookmarks i moved to [11], entered  r  , answered the query
   & lo-&-behold [12] disappeared, leaving the hi-lite on the same [11] !
-- the next question has to be: how exactly does Lynx delete entries?
   does it make assumptions about the editor to be used?
