Not sure what you guys are talking about (specify versions!), but for

   http://www.htc.net/~brianj/gsccc/psx/index2.html

^V isn't necessary to get the anchors selectable, and hasn't been for some
time, probably not for any devel code snapshot that had ^V.  Or does
anyone observe anything different?

Even if you are using an older version which doesn't recover so well from
unclosed anchors, you can try the LIST command.

For the devel code see also -hiddenlinks={merged,listonly}.
