LYNX-DEV Lynx V2.7-1 Vms Can't set default_user_mode novice in CFG file

[John Nowlin]

We are trying to set the default_user_mode to novice in the CFG file.  I
can't get this to work.  I found aproblem in lyreadcfg.c  It was looking
for NOVICE as 5 characters.  So i changed it to 6 and still nothing
happens.  NOVICE can be set from the Options menu.  What am I missing?

dif PROD3$:[CCLASOFT.LYNX27.LYNX2-7.SRC]LYREADCFG.C
************
File PROD3$:[CCLASOFT.LYNX27.LYNX2-7.SRC]LYREADCFG.C;4
  536               if (!strncasecomp(buffer+18, "NOVICE", 6))
  537                   {
  538               fprintf(stderr, "def user %s\n",buffer+18);
  539                   user_mode = NOVICE_MODE;
  540                   }
  541               else if (!strncasecomp(buffer+18, "INTER", 5))

  537                   user_mode = NOVICE_MODE;
  538               else if (!strncasecomp(buffer+18, "INTER", 5))

When I execute LYNX i get then
def user NOVICE
that I added to make sure it was reading the file.  but when i go to the
Options menu it is still set to Advanced.
     U)ser mode                   : Advanced
     user (A)gent                 : Lynx/2.7 libwww-FM/2.14
