That reminds me of my discovery a few weeks ago when I first installed
Lynx/32, version 2.8.1 Rel 4. My DOS screen reading program,
Vocal-Eyes, can associate configuration files with the running
application program's name. I found that the config file Lynx.set
would not automatically load when I started Lynx. So I checked, and
found Vocal-Eyes reporting that the name of the running program was
Conagent.exe. So now, my configuration file, which I renamed to
Conagent.SET, loads automatically. It must be something in how
Lynx/32 was compiled.
