The following is my termcap entry for my term `xterm'.

I don't see any entry for smul  (underline),  but my curses seems to be able
to display underlined characters. I use the latest version of ncurses. So,
??? (What next ?)

Now for a clarification  on the behaviour of Lynx.  I have a HTML segment as
follows.

--->
<strong><a href="/corweb/dilbert.html">Dilbert!</a></strong> -- Everyone's
favourite engineer.</p></font>

To test your Netscape MIME.type configuration, try the following <a
href="http://47.80.6.114:8080/config_test/config_test.html";><font
color+"FF0000">Test Page </a></p>
---

The  highlight  is on the  Dilbert  anchor on entering  the page.  It is the
first entry in the page.  When I move down from the link towards another, it
shows  underlining for that anchor (<B>  translates to an underline for me).
Now  when I  refresh  the page by a ^L, I get a bold  anchor  instead  of an
underlined  one.  When I walk  over  that  link  again,  I get a  underlined
anchor.  It is not a problem, but looks kinda funny.

Yep. Works fine!!!
