that's with the BSD curses, which uses the 8th bit for highlighting.
that is a limitation of the curses library, not lynx, in general.
both ncurses and slang, afaik, allow you to use all 8 bits.
The development version (which is comparable to 2.7.1+fotemods, give
or take a few bugs), supports autoconfiguration with any of these
libraries (curses, ncurses, slang).

The current version of ncurses is 4.1
