Re: LYNX-DEV Enter f'name for Print to File: relative path vs dotfile; edit previous

[Larry W. Virden, x2487]

Okay, here is a first stab at a fix for this.  HOWEVER, I don't know
VMS so I didn't attempt to fathom if there is a similar modification
needed there.

There are diffs based o LYNX 2.8rel3.  I did minimal testing of the
results, but confirmed that the cases I could think of seemed to
work as expected.
