The message below from David Combs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was forwarded by the list moderator. Very often I see a maybe-interesting link and, just for the hell of it, I click on it. It (lynx) asks if I will accept a cookie; I hit "v"; it asks AGAIN (I guess I'm in a chain of links), and for this 2nd one, I say v, etc, and finally I just want out. --- Isn't there SOME way that lynx can send SOMETHING that says "enough! done! stop! close connection!"? (It's "of course", I think, and recall) that "z" can't do that, or cannot given the current meaning lynx gives to it. But (again) there must be SOMETHING, eg "computer has crashed" that we can send, no? --- This asking for cookies (on SOME sites) is really a pain, especially when the net is SLOW. (and, unfortunately, you don't know until you try the link that this site will be gives problems.) ---- I mean, seems like the only way out is ^C. Which means you lose the history list, and the V-page too. So, it would be nice IF one could have an "escape char" we could type in that would get lynx to write out the html for both of those pages -- then we could ^c the job, and restart a lynx, and read-in those two just-saved files. Eg, lynx could ask for a "left-part" of a file name, eg "24oct00-3pm", and lynx would write out two files of that name, with ".v-page" and "hist-page" as "extensions". --- Sorry to bring up this matter once more, but this difficulty is a real pain.
