lynx-dev LYNX: how to P(rint) while in dropdown-list wanting item-choice? |

Look at this:
+------------------------------------------------------+Footer
| (371)Cat Litter Additives |
[1][LINK]-[2]| (372)Cat Litter Scoops |
| (373)Cat Milk Replacer, Food Supplement |
That's the top 4 lines of a VERY LONG drop-down list (must be several
thousand lines long -- each <space> gives you another "page" on
this dropdown list.
It wants me to CHOOSE one of the items, by moving cursor (vi vikeys,
for me), and as soon as I do choose one, the dropdown disappears --
ie I can no longer see that page of it.
What I want to do is to p(rint) it, to have some RECORD of just
what (pet) items EXIST at this site.
But there is no way to enter the "p".
---
Lots of programs (eg kermit, among many) have the ability
to "escape" out of the interaction, and give commands
directly to the program itself.
I believe we need such a facility in lynx.
Mail has it (default is tilde), kermit has it (backslash-c, I think
is it), etc, etc, etc.
Any suggestions? Comments?
