Re: lynx-dev [PATCH] Forced exit capability for command scripts

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

I haven't used the scripting facilities at all.  

'Q' is the unconditional Quit action, not prompted, whereas 'q'
normally displays a yes/no prompt.

After a goto URL has been entered and the Enter key completes it, Q
should quit the browser, although it might take a minute or two for
repeated connect attempts to time out.
