        An http server has map/pass rules for scripts, and thus
knows that anything following the script name element is PATH_INFO.
To do that in Lynx you'd have to define as set of script paths, e.g.,

SCRIPT_PATH:/cgi_bin:/file/system/path1
SCRIPT_PATH:/htbin:/file/system/path2

and then do a head match and coversion to file system paths and
PATH_INFO variables.
