Thanks (I have not received that latest patch yet).
Another minore items:

(1) when we reload a page with a form we got a warning
"reloading ... POST content will be lost"
but only if a form affected the current screen (not a document!)
that is a mess.
Since you now have a good knowlage of lynx structures
it would be nice to add a simple check whether the form input fields
changed from theirs default values, e.g. made a boolearn function like
HText_NeedNotResetForm()  paired to HText_ResetForm()

(2) ignore ^Ve if beeng invoked at forms input (not textarea)
