and others use the keypad with numlock on. But except in the Lynx/32
version, which uses the Microsoft Console Agent, a screen reader can
take control of keys before Lynx sees them, and there is no problem.
I always run Lynx with "numbers act as arrows". I can see that
sometimes it would be useful to separately activate the function which
embeds reference numbers in the text and gathers refs at the end.
