I don't know how likely that is to make it in to my "final" Lynx-rp of
the week - I haven't had a chance to look at it properly yet.  Seems like
a good idea, but the main reason people want rendering while downloading
is to be able to click on links near the top of the page before you fetch
all of the page...

Erm, yes.  :-)

Ok, I'll have a play and see if I can fix this.

Ah, but only my patch uses the getyx() macro, that's what the problem is.

Which was?  (You'll have to excuse me, I'm trying to wade through about 60
lynx-dev messages while doing tech support, fixing a recalcitrant PC, 
teaching our new tech support person, writing documentation and figuring
out whether I should quit over my promised payrise not appearing in full).
