Yes, but it seems that lynx doesn't provide a referer header when
going via the jumps page. Having just double checked that with the
latest build of lynx and a couple of apache servers I can look at the
logs of.

Ideally I'd like to be able to do this with some sort of jumps entry
or even a key binding, so that I can let people using my public lynx
client easily use tiny url or other common URL saving/bookmarking
sites.
