lynx-dev Bug fix patch for DOS port

[Doug Kaufman]

A bug was recently reported to me about inability to write files
to disk from the PRINT command, when the previous filenames were
accessed with the UP_ARROW before editing. This turned out to be lynx
prepending the path to a filename that already had an absolute path,
leading to an illegal filename (e.g. c:/test/c:/test/foo.bar, rather
than c:/test/foo.bar). The culprit seemed to be a unix-specific test
for absolute filenames in LYValidateFilename. I think the following
fixes it. (This is against pre.8. I haven't had time to work with the
new release yet.)
