unfortunately, i didn't make distclean (more below ... ):
when i did, i got the advertised toggle of form/menu,
but NEITHER of them would save my change (i made 1 simple change to test).
this is in clear contrast to 2-8pre.2, whose menu DOES save changes.
2-8-1pre.6 simply refuses to save .lynxrc iff it already exists.
> TD offered: did you try --disable-forms-options ?
i didn't see that in the configure --help list, only --enable ,
but it's not the problem here (i raised another query about it separately).
as for make distclean ...
isn't it dumb'n'stupid that configure takes SWITCH values from CACHE ??
i had to wait c 15 minutes while the whole process started from scratch
simply to drop the one switch for configure: can't this be improved?
(big smile for TD's continuing labors)
