True. The disadvantage here though (for this particular application),
is that it would mean having to cursor/tab out of the TEXTAREA, hit on
the special "link", then cursor back to whee you just came from. Very
keystroke busy. I think a key binding makes more sense, in this case.

Heh! More of a PITA, than "tricky", as this past few days of delving
into the mysteries of lynx's data struct's has taught me ... :-) ...!

| Would have to adjust all TextAnchors after that point.
Or the fact that the [tag]'ing code actually allows a [tag] to get [sp
lit] across a line boundary. Grrrrr ...!
