Hmmm ... my "E" works just fine on things like a submit button, etc.

You sure you didn't leave a stray KEYMAP binding lurking about, in your
lynx.cfg file, from earlier efforts to get EDITTEXTAREA working, but
before you remembered about the double ^V needed on your system ...?

Sorry, but termstuff is quite high on my list of least favorite things to
get near, unless I *absolutely* HAVE to (topped only by trying to give an
ill-tempered hippopotamus with constipation, an enema, using a firehose,
and ice-cold water).

Perhaps THE termexpert can give you an answer ... :-) ...
