hopefully, this may get into dev.22 ,
if TD's tax return is challenging enough (smile);
as usual, i've broken lines carefully to match the phrasing.
maybe KD will be able to improve & complete the text,
when she has finished her big move ...
* Add a section to Users Guide to explain the new TEXTAREA editing tools.

only non-hidden field in the form.

<dd>TEXTAREA fields are handled as if they were a series of text entry
(INPUT) fields for which successive lines imply a newline at the end of
the preceding line. You enter text on each line to construct the overall

or next line of the overall message, as for INPUT fields, and the
<em>TAB</em> key will move you down beyond the bottom of the TEXTAREA
field, or to the first line on the next page if the overall field
! extends beyond the currently displayed page.

In general, you can move around the form using the standard Lynx navigation

! <dt>Editing TEXTAREA Fields
! <dd>TEXTAREA fields can be edited using an external editor<br>
! by entering <em>^ve</em> when in the TEXTAREA.<p>
!
! You can also use two other special TEXTAREA functions<br>
! by adding KEYMAP bindings to your <em>lynx.cfg</em> file, e.g.<p>
!
! KEYMAP:$:GROWTEXTAREA<br>
! KEYMAP:#:INSERTFILE<p>
!
! With these binding -- you can choose other keys -- ,<br>
! (in a TEXTAREA only) <em>^v$</em> adds 5 lines to the TEXTAREA<br>
! and <em>^v#</em> brings up the name of an existing file<br>
! to be inserted into the TEXTAREA (above the cursorline).<br>
! An automatic variation is normally compiled in,<br>
! so that hitting <em>Enter</em> with the cursor on the last line<br>
! adds a new line to the TEXTAREA, with the cursor on it.<p>
!
! Some flavors of UNIX, shells & terminal settings require<br>
! that you enter <em>^v^ve</em> in order to start the editor,<br>
! as they also use <em>^v</em> as default command-line quote key<br>
! (called `lnext' in stty man pages and `stty -a' output);<br>
! to avoid this, you can put `stty lnext undef' in .cshrc<br>
! or invoke Lynx with a wrapper script, e.g.<p>
!
! #!/bin/sh<br>
! stty lnext undef<br>
! $HOME/bin/lynx "$@"<br>
! stty lnext ^V<br>
! exit<p>
!
! NB when NOT in a TEXTAREA, <em>^v</em> is the default command<br>
! to switch between SortaSGML and TagSoup HTML parsing<br>
! (i.e. SWITCH_DTD ).
