And I frequently run Lynx in an XTerm window, and cut-and-paste from other
windows.  I'd hate to have a strategically misplaced blank line blow me
out of the text area I intended to extend, and blast the remaining text
into further text fields (even likely interpreted as commands).

Use <TAB> or ^V<CR> to advance to the next field; I'd welcome this change
in user interface in exchange for the capability to extend text fields.
