LYNX-DEV Viewing Ordered Links

[Bryan Farrish]

Perhaps the following lynx-view of my bookmark file will reveal what my 
screen problem is.  The problem seems to be with "ordered links", since
standard paragraphs look just fine.  Also, the asterisks appear for some 
unknown reason (and again, this problem is with lynx only)...

Lynx-Viewed Bookmark File:

1. [1]*Website 1
 *2. [2]*Website 2
   *3. [3]*Website 3
     *4. [4]*Website 4
       *5. [5]*Website 5
         *6. [6]*Website 6
           *7. [7]*Website 7
             *8. [8]*Website 8
               *9. [9]*Website 9
                 *10. [10]*Website 10


Is this a lynx.cfg issue, or an stty issue, or something else?  I have 
yet to find lynx.cfg.   Stty size is set to 24 x 80, but I am unsure of 
how it is handling tabs (or if tabs are even important, since there are 
none in the bookmark file.)  Would a LF or CR-LF problem indeed cause this?
