If I did not spell that

correctly I am sorry. Still, is there a keystroke that provides this function in Lynx?
I see further, down this thread, that simply reloading the page worked for the OP satisfactorily. Just for the record though, yes, there is a keystroke for activating a link and requesting to bypass any cache: x NOCACHE force submission of form or link with no-cache My understanding is that this constitutes a request for a fresh copy of the linked resource, and not some copy that an intervening network node may have cached (ie, previously saved away to serve up more quickly, and without troubling servers further upstream). I wouldn't call that "clearing the cache", though. Random network nodes aren't going to take orders from the likes of me and you. They might respect our request for a fresh, non-cached document, but they'll keep on clearing their caches (or not) on their own schedule, not ours. But to clear lynx's local cache, do ^X CACHE_JAR examine list of cached documents You'll get a page with a numbered list of cached documents, with two links apiece, the first headed "Title" and the second headed "URL". Activating the links headed "Title" removes the corresponding documents from the cache. _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
