i have now discovered what was happening & it's not what i thought.
the pseudo-comment lines were suppressed when 2-8 wrongly used
the sysadmin's  lynx.cfg , which does NOT invoke Historical Comments:
when i toggle HC's using  ' , i also toggle the pseudo-comments.

should there perhaps be a warning in the  lynx.cfg  blurb
that HC's may in fact be LESS forgiving?
in this case the source has  <!-- ... < ... tags ... > ... -->
& the first  >  ending a tag is read as ending the quote:

<!-- Lotus InterNotes Web Publisher 4.0 -->   [the guilty party]

<!-- rotate 0  <a href = "/cgi-bin/pft/jump/iql/contb"><img width=468 height=60

<!-- rotate 1  <a href = "/cgi-bin/pft/jump/iql/contb"><img width=468 height=60 
src="/adverts/468iql.gif" border=0  alt="IQL - Click here"></a><br><p> rotate

which gives
   
   rotate 0--> IQL - Click here
   
   rotate 1--> IQL - Click here   [etc].

it's awful HTML, but FT are unlikely to change their `professional' software.
