As one who always likes Philip's position on lynx functionality I am somewhat surprised that I disagree with the idea of extra history buffers in lynx. I _like_ the lack of reminders of my wanderings; lynx_bookmarks.html and the existing buffer are okay. I'm not sure, but might this not also affect our precious speed?
