-- but then -- as we found out when i installed 2-6 on New Year's Day --
   the compiler jams up, because it has to read the instructions
   as one long line.  what i get is a series of lines each ending  \ :
   only when i delete the newlines (eventually for 2-6, straightway for 2-7)
   does it compile successfully.
-- of course, IF everyone has to delete the newlines,
   THEN the documentation should say so somewhere.
   i assumed it was a mismatch somewhere between standard-issue Lynx
   & our system here.
