I recompiled with  --enable-sessions  & without  --enable-session-cache
& Lynx now correctly saves search strings between sessions
& the above lines do appear in the Options page.

So is  --enable-session-cache  needed anymore in  configure ?

And in  INSTALLATION  shouldn't the following 

  --disable-session-cache               (define USE_CACHE_JAR)
    Use this option to compile-in support for saving/restoring session
    information in files.  Configurable from lynx.cfg

be changed to something like

  --enable-sessions                     (define <whatever>)
    Use this option to compile support to save/restore session information
    in files.  Configurable from lynx.cfg

?
