Gee, I just solved my terminal problem.

To rehash it for those who may not remember, I couldn't use my own
preferred editor because I kept getting an error about an unrecognized (??) 
terminal type, preventing the editor from spawning for writing an e-mail 
from a website link. We're running Lynx 2.7.1 on a SunOS system, which is
known to have some problems.

I was trying to see if -trace would help, but didn't notice anything so I
went into Lynx help and found some other similar items (whatever they're
called...) and one was -term=TERM. I tried starting as lynx -term=vt100, 
and then tested on my home page. The test was successful! I was thrilled!

Anyway, hope this helps anyone with a similar problem. I'm curious also 
if it says anything to anyone about *why* there was a problem, as I
definitely have set all terminal variables in my shell, and none of *that* 
helped. Needless to say, I'll be sharing this with TPTB at Concentric...
