1. ^B ^p have been implemented, at least, already on Lynx 2.5
   as documented in Lynx's Helpfile, linkname 'line editor'
   
2. lynx.browser.org is/has been unreachable this morning, a 
   copy from a local help file with all key bindings for the
   line editor follows:   


                       +++DEFAULT BINDING+++
                                       
Lynx invokes a built-in Line Editor for entering strings in response
to prompts, in forms, and for email messages if an external editor has
not been defined. Administrators can offer alternate key bindings by
adding them in LYEditmap.c before compiling Lynx, and they can be
selected via the 'o'ptions menu. This is the Default Binding:

     ENTER  Input complete       -  RETURN
     TAB    Input complete       -  TAB, Do
     ABORT  Input cancelled      -  Ctrl-G, Ctrl-O, Ctrl-C
     ERASE  Erase the line       -  Ctrl-U, Ctrl-X

     BACK   Cursor back    char  -  Left-Arrow
     FORW   Cursor forward char  -  Right-Arrow
     BACKW  Cursor back    word  -  Ctrl-P
     FORWW  Cursor forward word  -  Ctrl-N
     BOL    Go to begin of line  -  Ctrl-A, Home, Find
     EOL    Go to end   of line  -  Ctrl-E, End,  Select

     DELP   Delete prev    char  -  Ctrl-H, DELETE, Remove
     DELC   Delete current char  -  Ctrl-D
     DELN   Delete next    char  -  Ctrl-R
     DELPW  Delete prev    word  -  Ctrl-B
     DELNW  Delete next    word  -  Ctrl-F

     LOWER  Lower case the line  -  Ctrl-K
     UPPER  Upper case the line  -  Ctrl-T
