You might want to clarify one point about this. Hitting "Accept Changes" when "Save options to disk" is enabled writes out _all_ settings, not just the ones changes in the current [O]ptions dialog. That is, if you did: 1. [O]ptions 2. Change "User mode" to "Advanced" 3. Accept Changes 4. [O]ptions 5. Change "VI keys" to "Off" 6. Checkmark "Save options to disk" 7. Accept Changes -- the change made in step 2 has now been written to disk. This will be obvious to _current_ Lynx users, and may seem intuitively obvious to most readers on this list. It is much less obvious to a new user. A different reasonable assumption would be that "Save options to disk" only writes out changes made during the _current_ [O]ptions session. >Bela< _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
