I didn't know we were starting to deal with &#146;, &#151;, etc. 
because they were Microsoftisms.  But if we are, I prefer not 
inserting white spaces, but would like to see "--" for that 
character.  It would be great for braille translation of Lynx's 
Print output.

On another matter, I would like to see someone post a binary of 
Lynx/32 newer than version 16, so we can test things with screen 
readers under Windows 95.  A number of blind people are using this 
configuration now, because it's really quite slick.  Its only 
problems are with keyboard handling.
