Hello,

I use Lynx Version 2.8rel.2 with FreeBsd 2.2.6
and I have a few suggestions:

- Header for saved file
  With "Print/Save to a local file" an option to append some 
  header-lines at the beginning of the file would be useful, ie. 
  "URL: http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/html/todo-list.html";
  "Date: Mon, 20 Jul 1998 23:36:10 GMT"

- Bookmarks:
  Where is the template-text for the beginning of each bookmark-file,
  "You can delete links using the remove bookmark command..." ?
  I would like to make this notice shorter.

- add Bookmark-Entries for ftp:
  only the directory-name is saved, like "/pub directory".
  It would be better to also include the hostname, or the complete URL. 

- remove Bookmark-Entries
  when I remove a Bookmark-Entry with the "r"-command, 
  the screen-display is messed up:
  * in the first line of the screen, the text 
    "Description: Default Bookmark File" ist frozen
    (or some other line from the Bookmark-File)
  * in the last two lines of the screen, in  the first colums,
    the remnants of the text "Do you really want to remove..."
    are frozen.
  Reloading the page does not clear these.

  This does not happen when I edit the bookmarkfile 
  with the "e"-command and delete a line by hand.

- update/replace Bookmark-Entries
  When I get a www-page that says "this link has moved to...",
  I would like to replace the existing entry in the bookmarks
  with the new link.
  Until now, this is tedious (make new entry, then edit bookmark-file
  and move the last line around...)

- Multi-bookmarks:
  It would be nice to make it easier to move entries from one bookmark-
  file to another, ie. for splitting an old Default Bookmark File.
  Maybe this could be an external utility.

- Options Menu / cookies :
  include the option-setting for the default-handling for cookies here

- Download tagged files
  tagging in a ftp-directory does not work. 
  Any hints ?

- Presentation of [INLINE], [LINK], etc :
  On pages with lots of "[INLINE]   [LINK] " etc.
  it would be nice to show more infos for them,
  at least what can be seen on the Lynx List Page.
