    Anyway, to my question. Although I'm trying to get my system to upgrade 
  to 2.7, I'm not at all certain they'll do it. It's currently using 2.4.2.

    Is there any "fix", preferably user-installable, to give me the 
  pseudo-link to images? And for that matter, how about the form submit 
  problems? I've run into a number of incorrectly nested forms, and unless 
  I use one of the remote servers, I'm out of luck.

It depends on how much of a programmer you are.

If you are a null programmer, you view source, screen capture the URL
in the IMG href, and g)o-to-URL to download.

That gets images.

Bad forms you have to save, edit, and go.

If you are a non-null programmer, you can implement some amelioratives
such as deleting all non-functional tags and attributes

        e.g. change <BODY *> to <BODY>
             change <b> to ""
        etc.

in a edit script, and install this script as a downloader via lynx.cfg

Pretty soon the cumulative pain exceeds compiling your own up-to-date
model.
