LYNX-DEV BUG? In multiple-bookmark support

Using the lynx2-6FM.zip (distribution from somewhere on or around 1/28)
with multiple-bookmark support compiled in, I've encountered the following
problem:

        When starting lynx with the URL of one of my bookmark pages, or
otherwise accessing a bookmark file without using the (v)iew command, Lynx
seems unaware that it's looking at my bookmarks.  I'm unable to (r)emove
links.  Also, any links I (a)dd do not appear unless I quit-and-restart lynx,
or explicitly reload my bookmark page, even when using (v) to access it (I
assume the latter is because the cage has gone through the "standard" caching
mechanism.)

        I don't experience either problem when I run Lynx without multiple
bookmark support.  This is hardly a crippling bug, butt I find it annoying
since I like to invoke Lynx by pointing it at my default bookmark file.

If I can find the time tonight, I'll play around with adding some sort of
IS_BOOKMARK flag to the code.  Is there any reason not to simply force
naming of bookmark files to follow a standard (ie. lynx_bookmark[A-Z].html)
or perhaps make use of a .lynx_bookmarks directory?

I'm supposed to have something really cool or thought-provoking here
for a sig, but I can't think of anything.  I guess you'll have to
settle for this.  Sorry.
