Hi,
You are welcome...I think, if the debian list  comment refers to me.
However, I am not using debian either.  Instead my access to lynx is via 
shell services.   <spelling> freebds here at shellworld, or the shell 
provided by my web hosting company who uses  <spelling> ubintu now.
Is there a present option in Lynx that will simulate the idea you reference 
here?
I respect the wisdom of not permanently using Gordon's solution.  There 
are not many places where I am forbidden, but just enough for it to be 
something I would rather have a way to prevent.
