The problem is that you are forced to ensure that the number of lines you
copy are the minimum number of lines specified in the form.

In _my_ opinion, the ideal solution would be for lynx to add new text
entry lines when the user types a return on the last currently displayed
text entry line.  To move out of the text entry field one would need to
type TAB (or ^V<command>).

However, rather than force such an ugly solution on all users, having ability
to just toss me into the editor, which is fed to the form upon exit, would
be almost bearable - as long as the text wasn't reformatted into the
lesser number of lines AND the user can go back and edit the text...
