I know the colours don't "scroll" - I didn't add any code for colours going
across page breaks.  If you use the "go down 2 lines" instead of paging,
the colours work better.  ;-)  A fix for the colours-across-page-breaks is 
in hand though.

Well, since my patch isn't in the official code set, putting STYLE lines in
the lynx.cfg would confuse that code.  If people want, I'll take a lynx.cfg
from the current code set, add a bunch of STYLE lines to the bottom, and
stick it up for www access on lynx.browser.org.
