Re: LYNX-DEV lynx Zmodem download filenames

This issue is in the FAQ, under downloading.  An option is presented there
that is supposedly a little safer.  Really, though, this is so common, it
ought to just be one of the DOWNLOADER options to be uncommented in the
lynx.cfg file that comes with the distribution.  So here is a diff for
Fote's lynx2-6mods, to be applied to the lynx2-6/lynx.cfg file.  This is
my first attempt at making a diff, so please tell me if I did something
wrong.  --Mike
