I believe that this is the action that everyone has seen.

This is what I intended.

I would have to go back and check again, but I think that lynx does not
clean up temporary files from the lynx_temp directory when exiting via
the interrupt.  The message is a warning that there was not a normal
exit.  I haven't spent any time trying to modify the exit display of
what I thought were register values.  Other DJGPP programs give a
similar display on exit.  I don't know if this is configurable or not.
I don't believe that it comes from the lynx code itself, but rather from
the way DJGPP is handling interrupts.
