LYNX-DEV Option Lists, AC-0.20, 386 Version

[Lloyd G. Rasmussen]

I finally had some time to try Lynx 2.7.1 AC 0.20, released by Wayne 
Buttles on May 5.  I wonder if this problem is in other AC 0.20 
versions as well.

Try the "Distance" selection from the main page of www.switchboard.com 
and attempt to select a category of businesses from the option list, 
or states, for that matter.  In show_cursor mode, the cursor jumps to 
a spot to the right of the default selection when you hit Enter on it, 
but up and down arrows do not move the selection point, as far as I 
can determine with a DOS screen reading program, looking for the 
cursor and also for color changes.  Hitting Enter a second time takes 
you out of the option list, but you haven't had the ability to change 
the option.  I think I found this behavior in another web page with 
option lists.  Behavior with show_cursor turned off is similar.  Check 
box fields continue to work properly.  I don't use "links are 
numbered" mode, so don't know how those features are working.
I'm glad I didn't overwrite my copy of AC 0.6, because it doese these 
things right.

I haven't succeeded in running mailto from either of these browsers, 
but they are still very useful and fast for downloading and viewing 
files.
