I believe there used to be a lynx.cfg variable which caused lynx to
require y or Y to quit and everything else was interpreted as n,  so if
you pressed qdp,  would ask if it should quit,  decided not to after the
d,  and go to the print menu after the p,  which was much better than
just quiting.  I used to have lynx set up this way.  

When I look in my lynx.cfg now,  I can't find it.  Did it go away?
