Well, I'm the person, but it seems my question was misinterpreted.  If
there is a way to break out of lynx _when you shouldn't be able to_, then
it's possible that there is a bug in lynx that needs fixing.

If you know of a sequence of keystrokes that you can use to break out of
lynx and get shell access in a captive account with lynx run `-anonymous'
or `-validate', then I am sure there are a lot of very honorable people
on this list who would like to know about it.

Please feel free to experiment on the public access lynx at:
        telnet://ibr.nara.kindai.ac.jp/   (login: `lynx').
Perhaps that will give you an idea of my `honor' and my commitment to
lynx-dev.  I trust you will work toward the same end.
