Well, yes, since the INFO page, as currently created, has URLs in it
that refer to temp files! If it was created with "about:compile", the
handler for that would do whatever it did. e.g. if you GOTO
"LYNXKEYMAP:", it does the right thing without having pre-created the
data for that.
Oh, the INFO page itself should also be an "about:" URL. I see that
Netscape does exactly this: "about:http://sol.slcc.edu" gives me some
stuff that Netscape knows about it, very much in the same vein as Lynx's
INFO page.

Well, I'm about to send a patch that should fix that NSL_FORK problem;
mind you, I've used a sledgehammer where a scalpel might have been more
appropriate...
