i agree with all  7  of David's question marks.

as i said yesterday,  lynx.cfg  &  userdefs.h  need further cleaning-up.
we need to discuss what should be in each & remove most duplications;
i'll see if i can manage to go thro' them & make proposals.

we certainly need to move  QUIT_DEFAULT_YES  to  lynx.cfg :
at least this one should be done for 2-8.
