As they say, "this is a feature, not a bug". This handling is a
compiletime option in userdefs.h. The default is that trace goes to
stderr. For a Lynx.trace file with ^T, you need to set TRACE_LOG to TRUE
in userdefs.h at compilation, or run lynx as "lynx -tlog". Since DOS
doesn't handle redirection of stderr well, all the DOS ports have been
compiled with TRACE_LOG TRUE. This is the first change I make when
compiling a new version.

Is there a reason that the default is FALSE?
