No really, it does seem to do that. [Using the default lynx on my FC2 system, which is lynx-2.8.5-15] echo hello > /tmp/hello.txt echo world > /tmp/world.txt lynx /tmp/hello.txt press g and type /tmp/world.txt So now we have a lynx with a navigation history of two pages. In another window, rm /tmp/ hello.txt /tmp/world.txt In Lynx, press ^R. It doesn't quit (yet), but says that the document is unavailable and tracks back to the first document. Now press ^R again. Lynx quits with "Can't access startfile". I'm assuming the same would happen if instead of pressing ^R you visited several other pages (sufficient to fill Lynx's cache and un-cache the original two documents) and then pressed the LYK_PREV_DOC key to return to the original document. imc _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
