something like that - it's not interpreting as html right now.  But what I
see on a 24x80 screen is that I get a match on p230 while the page is
loading, and the match on p231 does not cause scrolling until the page
is complete.   I guess that's what you are talking about...

Just checking, I see that Debian omits the samples/ directory, but adds a
few files from docs/.  Slackware has the current CHANGES in the
lynx_doc directory.  Redhat9 has the docs/ directory (including the
older CHANGES* files), but omits the current CHANGES file.

I suspect that Slackware would have the docs/ subdirectory if we installed
it, but the other two would be unaffected.
