Tom has checked in patch level ac-0.37, which fixes the option popup color
problem I was having under 0.36 and NetBSD-1.2/ncurses-4.1.

I've got a related question about how Lynx works with remote xterm sessions.
When I run lynx on a Sun system (such as slcc) over an rlogin connection, I
get the the same color behaviour I do with a local xterm session under
NetBSD/XFree86.  However, when I try the same thing on a NetBSD rlogin
session, I only get a monochrome display.  What environmental differences
could cause this to happen?

I have also been unsuccessful in pointing the Lynx display to my desktop
system using the typical "-display host:0.0" or "-display=host:0.0" command
option.  This option works with other programs.
