this is (yet) another regular irritant, which may have a simple fix.
(1) why in fact does `z' not stop a look-up:
ie what's the big difference from a connection/download?
(2) how difficult would it be to add a time-out option as JE requested,
in lynx.cfg & the other usual places, esp for off-line use?
(3) why do we have to rely on a configure switch (of all things)?
(4) if we do have to rely on that, it needs better documentation.
this is a request for clarification from LP TD & other experts,
on which basis people -- even me -- may have a look at the source.
