lynx-dev Lynx32/Lynx_95 Color Definition Syntax Error (10/10/98 release)

aloha, wayne!

i recently downloaded the Lynx32 archive (based on Lynx 2.8.1pre9) which you
released on 10/10/98, but when i attempted to run it with the configuration
file i customized for AFB and Blynx, it refuses to run, claiming a syntax
error
in lynx.cfg in the COLOR definitions, and citing the following line:

COLOR:0:white:black           # normal text

i fail to "see" what is wrong with this line...  it has not only worked in all
previous versions of Lynx32, but also works when the AFB/Blynx blind-tailored
lynx.cfg file is used with Lynx on a Unix/Linux platform (when, of course,
Lynx
is compiled with slang)

so, what gives?

i've appended the entire COLOR definition section from my customized lynx.cfg
file below:

# COLORS (only available if compiled with SVr4 curses or slang)
#
# The line must be of the form:
# COLOR:Integer:Foreground:Background
#
# The Integer value is interpreted as follows:
#     0 - normal               - normal text
#     1 - bold                 - hyperlinks, see also BOLD_* options above
#     2 - reverse              - statusline
#     3 - bold + reverse            (not used)
#     4 - underline            - text emphasis (EM, I, B tags etc.)
#     5 - bold + underline     - hyperlinks within text emphasis
#     6 - reverse + underline  - currently selected hyperlink
#     7 - reverse + underline + bold  - WHEREIS search hits
#
# Each Foreground and Background value must be one of:
#      black              red            green            brown
#       blue          magenta             cyan        lightgray
#       gray        brightred      brightgreen           yellow
# brightblue    brightmagenta       brightcyan            white
#
# Uncomment and change any of the compilation defaults.
#
#COLOR:0:black:white
#COLOR:1:blue:white
#COLOR:2:yellow:blue
#COLOR:3:green:white
#COLOR:4:magenta:white
#COLOR:5:blue:white
#COLOR:6:red:white
#COLOR:7:magenta:cyan
#
# NOTE TO LOW VISION USERS:
# The following color values have been suggested for maximum contrast
# by Laura Eaves <address@hidden> and have been tested by over 
# thirty low-vision users.
#
# These colors have been tested with TERM=vt220 and TERM=ansi
#
# Unix/Shell Account Users Note: To use these colors, start lynx with 
# the '-color' switch. As noted above, color is only available if Lynx 
# was compiled with slang.
#
# Comments on the colors should be sent to address@hidden and 
# address@hidden
#
COLOR:0:white:black           # normal text
COLOR:1:yellow:black          # bold
COLOR:2:brightcyan:black      # reverse (status bar)
COLOR:3:brightblue:black      # bold reverse
COLOR:4:brightgreen:black     # underline
COLOR:5:brightmagenta:black   # bold underline
COLOR:6:white:blue            # reverse underline (current link)
COLOR:7:white:red       # reverse underline bold
