Re: lynx-dev Re: bug? described on netbsd-help ml

[Glendon Gross]

I have one pet peeve with Lynx on NetBSD.... I often need to hit
CTRL+C to escape when a site times out, after which I lose the cursor and
can't see what I type.  Is there another escape sequence
I should be using, or is there a patch I need to install?  Installing
the latest ncurses and rebuilding lynx from the ports tree seems to
have made no difference.  Is this problem fixed in a newer version of
lynx?  

My lynx version and kernel version follows.
Thanks,

Glendon Gross
