LYNX-DEV LYNX reads "off" from .lynxrc set_cursor=on |

I've got a big problem:
I have show_cursor=on in my .lynxrc file, as you
can see down below.
I also explicitly set -show_cursor on the command-line:
{netcom4:287} alias testlynx
/u13/wcheung/bin/lynxtest -show_cursor -vikeys -cache=60 lynx_bookmarks.html
{netcom4:288}
{netcom4:288}
But, when I do "o", it shows it OFF:
Options Menu (Lynx Version 2.7.1ac-0.111)
E)ditor : vi
D)ISPLAY variable : NONE
mu(L)ti-bookmarks: OFF B)ookmark file: lynx_bookmarks.html
F)TP sort criteria : By Filename
P)ersonal mail address : NONE
S)earching type : CASE INSENSITIVE
preferred document lan(G)uage: en
preferred document c(H)arset : NONE
display (C)haracter set : ISO Latin 1
Raw 8-bit or CJK m(O)de : ON show color (&) : OFF
V)I keys: ON e(M)acs keys: OFF sho(W) dot files: OFF
popups for selec(T) fields : ON show cursor (@) : OFF
K)eypad mode : Links are numbered
li(N)e edit style : Default Binding
l(I)st directory style : Mixed style
U)ser mode : Intermediate
user (A)gent : Lynx/2.7.1ac-0.111 libwww-FM/2.14
local e(X)ecution links : ALWAYS OFF
When I set it on, via "@", hit return to confirm it,
and do ">" to save it, all is fine; it DOES WORK.
But the only way I have found to turn it on is
by hand in this way.
Here is a small piece of my .lynxrc:
192 # one which does not distingish the current link based on highlighting
193 # or color. A value of "on" will set positioning to the left as the
194 # default while a value of "off" will set 'hiding' of the cursor.
195 # The default can be overridden via the -show_cursor command line
toggle.
196 show_cursor=on
197 # If keypad_mode is set to "NUMBERS_AS_ARROWS", then the numbers on
Also, as experiment I removed all comment-lines, and
here is the resulting .lynxrc, which on running lynx
made no difference: on the "o" page it still showed
"off" (until I by hand turned it on):
file_editor=vi
bookmark_file=lynx_bookmarks.html
sub_bookmarks=off
multi_bookmarkB=
multi_bookmarkC=
multi_bookmarkD=
multi_bookmarkE=
multi_bookmarkF=
multi_bookmarkG=
multi_bookmarkH=
multi_bookmarkI=
multi_bookmarkJ=
multi_bookmarkK=
multi_bookmarkL=
multi_bookmarkM=
multi_bookmarkN=
multi_bookmarkO=
multi_bookmarkP=
multi_bookmarkQ=
multi_bookmarkR=
multi_bookmarkS=
multi_bookmarkT=
multi_bookmarkU=
multi_bookmarkV=
multi_bookmarkW=
multi_bookmarkX=
multi_bookmarkY=
multi_bookmarkZ=
file_sorting_method=BY_FILENAME
personal_mail_address=
case_sensitive_searching=off
character_set=ISO Latin 1
preferred_language=en
preferred_charset=
show_color=default
vi_keys=on
emacs_keys=off
show_dotfiles=off
select_popups=on
show_cursor=on
keypad_mode=LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED
lineedit_mode=Default Binding
dir_list_style=MIXED_STYLE
user_mode=INTERMEDIATE
run_all_execution_links=off
run_execution_links_on_local_files=off
{netcom4:298}
The result of ">" was to put the comments back
in; here is a few lines from a lynx-written .lynxrc:
# default while a value of "off" will set 'hiding' of the cursor.
# The default can be overridden via the -show_cursor command line toggle.
show_cursor=on
# If keypad_mode is set to "NUMBERS_AS_ARROWS", then the numbers on
#
PLEASE: WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO LYNX?
THANKS!
