Yes. When you enter a number, n, it starts scanning the hypertext
anchors structure pointed to by the currently displayed HText structure,
and then uses the nth anchor's address equivalently to an address you
might have entered as a 'g'oto.
I thought the point of treating that as a paging command (draw
a new page with that link in it) instead of an activation was because
you imagined that hypertext links and form fields could be handled as
a single, ordinal array of numbers. That, and modifying the API to
support a one, ordinally numbered hypertext link or form field per
line feature, would be a *major* undertaking, better put off until
after a v2.7 release, IMHO.
