Feeling like fool, I go hit "K", and yep, ^T is right there.

Along with several other "toggle" commands, mostly non-alpha chars.

Suggestion: just for symmetry, why not add ALL of these to the O-options
page?  So that the user doesn't have to memorize all these special characters.

And I still think LCD, to be used with -crawl, etc, to be a useful
addition, so that it isn't such a "big deal" (via whole rerun of Lynx)
to download a subtree of pages (-realm) into a "local namespace" (ie a
directory set aside just for that subtree) -- with ALL this being doable
WITHOUT a fresh run of lynx (having to first "copy" the url, then "paste" it 
into the proper place
in a lynx command-line), ie transforming that kind of operation
into something simple and natural to do WHILE browsing-around via lynx.


Sorry about the ^T!
