hello. Thanks again for the tip. After reading the terminfo library
sources, I realized
that while I had a terminfo description of the terminal, it wasn't being used
because, even
though the library opens a plain text file containing the terminal description,
it only uses
the compiled version.
The reason vi(1), top, more, etc. work is because they still use the TERMCAP
variable if it's
available. Something I didn't realize until I read the source.
So, now, lynx is working better, but it's still not perfect because it
doesn't properly
display popup windows, as are used for drop down menus. I assume this is
because my translation
of termcap data to terminfo data is imperfect. I will work on that.
