Marcel has already explained about the terminfo, I didn't as its some time (years) since I set Lynx up and had forgotten & I havent looked at email for a few days, as to documentation it's unfair to expect authors of computer software to also have report writing skills isn't it - its a really different skill :-) - same with occurs software for amigas, spectrums and PCs and QLs (even Marcel can be quite cryptic). In the "PC world" you can expect brand new hardware to come with non functioning software & no manual unless you care to download som bland pdf files. I bought a new graphics card for my game playing son for Christmas - recommended in a PC magazine & from one of the 2 big names in PC games graphics cards. The CDROM with the card would not install the drivers - demanded that "basic drivers" be installed first - spent an evening fighting with it then manually installed and next day found the latest edition of the drivers on a magazine cover disk which installed all software perfectly - what would happen to those punters who had not bought that magazine or could not force a manual install. Back to Lynx - the 2 config files need to be modified as well to set the home page - if not they can over ride the environment variables - lynxrc & lynx_cfg., found that out when changing my home page for lynx. Finally I agree lynx is not the easiest browser to use ie cool linux non intuitive command line attitude, so when QPC2 3.30 is released we need a decent browser not lynx what is the state of play with Hyperbrowser from Tarquin Mills? Haven't managed to break QPC 3.30beta yet either.
