LYNX-DEV Helping the novice user with lynx

[Larry W. Virden, x2487]

Anyone think it might be useful to enhance lynx so that every 'screen'
has a help page?  How many different screens in lynx are there?
Here's a few differences I've noticed.

Help: lower case h may be used by vi mode, capital h or ? gives help
        lynx html browsing page 
        lynx source code page
        lynx bookmark browsing page 
        lynx visited links page
        lynx = location page

No access to help page:
        lynx option page
        lynx sending comment to page owner process (should/could this become
                a single form, with pieces filled in?)

Other:
        when going to help within the download, history, or print lynx page, I
        don't seem to know what keystroke will take me back to the page.
        History isn't all that bad in this case, but if one's spent
        some time downloading a file, I suspect some distress to be
        encountered when the user realizes they've 'lost' their download.

        there are several 'states' where a novice could themselves.
        For instance during cooking prompting, login/password prompting
        and I suspect others.  Once in the prompting, having access to
        the means to find out where one is , what the prompts mean,
        etc. would be a useful feature.  Having the means to attempt
        an return from the help to the place from which the user
        began would also be useful
        one's
