I think we need text mode for 'p'rinting (? also: bookmark, lynx.rc...)
because we really print the text (currently visible by Lynx),
while binary mode for 'd'ownload option only.

I fact, lynx386 call cp.exe for swapping to temp dir while 'd'ownloading,
so we need to open binary mode at this point.
