Only that it is the other way around (currently), as Al Gilman already
noted.

Adding a global config setting that globally changes the behavior of
typing numbers from "activate link" to "goto link" should be possible
and straightforward now that the mechanism is there (if it works...
it has to be tested a bit more than I did) but I don't want to be the one
to make all the changes in the documentation, help files etc.

Dunno this Kurt or about his eyes :)
but as far as I am concerned,
the code is available for downloading and testing (together with
other experimental features) in the development code on SOL.SLCC.EDU.. 

    <URL: http://sol.slcc.edu/lynx/current/>,

The latest code set is called 2.7.1ac-0.12.  It has some (minor) tweaks
of the "new" parsing/DTD, and the "old" parsing/DTD (to which one can
currently switch with ^V) is now updated to include Fote's changes after
the "FORM hack".  So with this Lynx, if you run into some horrible page,
you have a second chance :), it's two Lynxes for the price of one and 
both are different from 2.7.1...

There are also some changes to setting MIME headers for mail (based on
Hynek Med's patch; sorry, still no -assume_charset change :( ).  See
CHANGES.new for details.
