Thomas, Ian,
Thomas I personally can do nothing whatsoever with the snapshop. because
of how I use a computer, and the lack of pure dos compiles of Lynx
recently, my only access to the browser, or to the internet in general
comes via using ssh telnet to reach shellworld.
Ian, if you choose to access this snapshot, can you test for improvements?
I will likely have to wait first for its incorporation into a lynx
edition, then to how these changes might be incorporated into shellworld
before I try.
Regardless I am reporting to Amazon, so a test of some kind will be
helpful.
Kare
