well... a "jumps" file is a definition-list, which doesn't have a
way to specify by itself any parameters. Back to your original
suggestion, it's not clear how lynx is to choose the text that
is substituted in the "%s". For instance (assuming that lynx is
going to inspect the url and see that it has a place to add a parameter)
is it going to
a) prompt for input
b) pick the data from the current anchor
c) whatever

basically just me (some people send patches - Thorsten has).
I'm overdue for a patch, intending to work on lynx after my current work
on mawk...
