2 nd page in -- resources -- search -- the word 'techniques' is a hotlink
that is part of an <ul> <li> tag line that wraps.
http://www.stampalbums.com/corrections.htm
3rd page in -- each instance of download is a hotlink.
those that are wrapped are not bolded until moved into
[ I cannot reproduce the problem with a slang-compiled 2.8.1rel.2 on
Linux. Can anyone else? ]
working with a b/w grid laptop running kermit 3.15 emulating vt102
isp logged me in as vt100 emulation. display is 80x24
[ This may be a problem at the terminal emulation level, specific
to DOS kermit and the ISP's terminfo (or termcap) entry for vt100.
First thing you should try is starting lynx with -term=vt102,
-term=kermit, or whatever other terminal types are available at the
shell account. Look under the /usr/share/terminfo/ directory (or
whereever else it is), or in the /etc/termcap file, for ideas what
to try.
I don't know what changed between 2.7.2 and 2.8.1 in this respect,
but maybe the two versions of lynx you are comparing were just
buit with different options or libraries. ]

this is unnumbered links and i must use up down arrows to move
between links
i can get printout of isp's compile time option settings if this is of
help and also my option settings
release we run is 2.8.1 rev2
