        I'm certain, Ismael, that if you took three deep breaths to
snap out of "whining to lynx-dev" mode, you could actually figure that
out yourself:

   With multi bookmark support you could have up to 26 different
   bookmark files.  How many of them could be recognized via the
   URL for the default bookmark file?

      [ ] All 26 of them.
      [ ] 17.
      [ ] 13 5/8.
      [ ] Only one of the 26.
      [ ] None of the above.
